Former commercial lawyer and freelance journalist Joseph Friedman joins Jeremy Cordeaux on this week's Court of Public Opinion to talk about About Time, the monthly newspaper he founded for people in Australian prisons, inspired by the UK's Inside Time.

He explains how the paper won over eight separate corrections authorities, why criminal and personal injury lawyers are its biggest advertisers, what prisoners write about, and why he believes rehabilitation, not punishment inside, should be the priority. Jeremy also shares a memorable call he once took from a prison exercise yard, and the table swaps stories of creativity behind bars.

This interview aired live on The Court of Public Opinion on Friday 2 October 2026.

Demographer and social researcher Mark McCrindle of McCrindle Research joins Jeremy Cordeaux AM to unpack two major new reports, Treasury's Intergenerational Report and the HILDA survey. He explains what a population heading for almost 40 million in the 2060s means for housing, health, aged care and the tax base.

Mark also tackles adult children living at home, overqualified graduates, a falling birth rate and why most Australian couples rate their relationship as better than average. Plus a caller with memories of post-war migrant housing and the two words the table reckons guarantee a happy marriage.

Dr John Bruni of SAGE International joins Jeremy Cordeaux AM around the dining room table for his regular look at the world stage. He discusses reported US aircraft losses in the Middle East, diesel prices and the Red Sea, why cheap drones are rewriting modern warfare, and how US manpower compares with China's.

John also explains SAGE International's idea of 'threshold conditioning', the Russian grey zone campaign he says is spreading across Europe, why he believes China will not invade Taiwan, and why he is sceptical about Elon Musk's plan to put data centres in orbit. Plus a cloned John Laws voice that has the whole table talking about trust in the age of AI.
