In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a hard-hitting economic and political assessment as Parliament returns and Australians brace for another interest rate rise. Jeremy warns that soaring electricity prices — driven by government energy policy — are about to jump another 20–25 per cent, pushing households and businesses toward bankruptcy while cheap Australian coal and gas power China and India at a fraction of the cost.

He criticises runaway government spending, ballooning hospital funding commitments, and what he calls the unchecked growth, waste and fraud inside the NDIS. Jeremy also condemns $50 million in foreign aid sent to Afghanistan, questioning priorities during a domestic cost-of-living crisis. The episode takes aim at massive public-sector salary increases, media silence fuelled by government advertising, and the planned slaughter of thousands of brumbies in Kosciuszko National Park. It’s a blunt, wide-ranging and unapologetic garage session focused on accountability, priorities and the “pub test”.

Broadcast from the garage, Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a wide-ranging and uncompromising critique of government waste, youth crime policy failures and climate hypocrisy. Jeremy highlights Victoria’s $35 million ankle-bracelet trial tracking just eight youth offenders, calling it an extraordinary example of political theatre over real action. He compares it to previous costly failures such as machete surrender schemes that delivered negligible results.

Jeremy also dismantles what he sees as climate double standards, pointing to politicians celebrating new wetlands while ignoring the fact wetlands are the world’s largest natural producers of methane. He questions the effectiveness of the under-16 social media ban, reveals a $730,000 travel bill for Australia’s Aboriginal envoy, and condemns the use of $1.5 million in taxpayer funds to promote changing the date of Australia Day after the Voice referendum result.

The episode closes with an emotional appeal to stop the planned helicopter shooting of brumbies in Kosciuszko National Park, with Jeremy urging listeners to contact MPs and animal welfare organisations before it’s too late.

Broadcast from the garage, Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a sharp critique of political leadership, government waste and taxpayer-funded hypocrisy. Jeremy predicts an imminent leadership spill within the Liberal Party, arguing Susan Ley has failed to define or defend core values, leaving voters drifting toward One Nation. He highlights a scathing assessment of the Liberal Party by former MP Craig Kelly, who declares the party “dead” due to cowardice and ideological surrender.

The episode also tackles alarming figures on lithium-ion battery fires, taxpayer-funded childcare and IVF subsidies for high-income earners, and runaway government advertising spend at both state and federal levels. Jeremy questions why governments spend hundreds of millions on political advertising while owning the ABC outright, arguing the national broadcaster already provides unmatched reach.

As always, the program blends political analysis, cultural commentary and historical perspective, finishing with reflections on power, accountability and why the Court of Public Opinion remains one of the few places for unfiltered debate.

In this Australia Day Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux takes aim at what he calls the deliberate distortion of Australian history. Reacting to a Victorian council flying the Australian flag at half-mast on January 26, Jeremy rejects the “Invasion Day” narrative and explains why Australia Day is rightly anchored to the 1948 Nationality and Citizenship Act — the moment Australia formally became a nation of citizens.

Jeremy contrasts post-war immigration policies built on assimilation with what he describes as today’s failed experiment in multiculturalism. He also delivers an emotional update on his campaign to stop the slaughter of wild brumbies in Kosciuszko National Park, condemning the silence of major animal welfare organisations. The episode touches on public safety, ideology, free speech, international events and historical perspective, closing with Jeremy’s trademark reflections on culture, common sense and national identity.

In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a blistering critique of government waste, climate hypocrisy and political arrogance. From Victoria’s $35 million ankle-bracelet trial tracking just eight youth offenders, to the farcical cost-blowouts of crime prevention schemes, Jeremy questions whether governments have lost all connection to reality.

He condemns the $730,000 travel bill run up by Australia’s Aboriginal envoy, slams the use of taxpayer funds to produce a $1.5 million podcast to change the date of Australia Day, and calls out the hypocrisy of climate leaders celebrating new wetlands despite wetlands being the world’s largest natural methane emitters.

Jeremy also dismantles the failed under-16s social media ban, warns of an impending slaughter of wild brumbies in Kosciuszko National Park, and urges Australians to fight back against political arrogance, cruelty and waste. It’s a sharp, passionate and wide-ranging broadcast that blends outrage, history and common sense — straight from the garage.

Jeremy Cordeaux returns to the garage for the first show of 2026 with a blistering commentary on the Bondi Beach massacre, political cowardice, and what he sees as the collapse of free speech and multiculturalism in Australia. Jeremy accuses Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of being dragged “kicking and screaming” into announcing a Royal Commission, questioning what the government is hiding and why radical Islam has barely been mentioned since the attack.

He challenges the government’s gun law diversion, criticises the appointment of a left-leaning Royal Commissioner, and warns that hate speech legislation and misinformation laws are being used to shut down dissent. Jeremy also condemns the cancellation of Adelaide Writers’ Week, highlights what he calls “no-go zones” in Lakemba, and argues that multiculturalism has become monoculturalism.

From free speech to immigration, ideology, national security and political hypocrisy, this explosive first episode of 2026 sets the tone for a confrontational year ahead.

In this extraordinary Garage edition, Jeremy Cordeaux breaks his planned summer silence to address what he calls a national watershed moment following the Bondi Beach attack on the Jewish community. Jeremy condemns political platitudes and media theatrics, arguing the tragedy was preventable and had nothing to do with gun laws. He challenges the federal government’s response, criticises political correctness in national security, and questions why extremist threats were not acted on despite prior intelligence awareness.

Jeremy delivers a blunt assessment of multiculturalism, border security, immigration screening, and the government’s reluctance to confront Islamic extremism for political reasons. He contrasts Australia’s approach with Israel’s security reality, warns against disarming law-abiding citizens, and calls for honesty about values, assimilation, and national identity. It is one of Jeremy’s most uncompromising commentaries to date — urgent, emotional, and unapologetically direct.
