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.

In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy dives into a fast-moving mix of politics, economics and the absurdities shaping Australia in late 2025. From fears of an “AI investment bubble” to staggering stock market swings, Jeremy breaks down what the tech boom really means for everyday Australians. He calls out the irony of government climate posturing, questions the logic behind Australia’s renewable commitments, and highlights the contradictions in exporting coal while preaching net-zero.

Jeremy also tears into the Bureau of Meteorology’s shocking $96.5 million website rebuild, the CSIRO’s mass job cuts, and the growing dysfunction inside Australia’s key institutions. Plus, he discusses the bizarre $100 million government ad campaign surrounding South Australia’s algal bloom, and the ongoing tension between bureaucracy, red tape and common sense.

In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux fires off a rapid-paced commentary on immigration, energy prices, government incompetence and the collapse of small business confidence. Jeremy reveals shocking data showing a third of small businesses will close within six months—driven entirely by soaring energy costs caused by government policy. He calls for a national debate on sustainable immigration numbers, challenges political cowardice, and proposes a simple, winning slogan: “Make electricity cheap again.”

Jeremy also dismantles the controversial “Adolescent Man Box” study, criticising the suggestion that masculinity leads to violence. He exposes a stunning Border Force scandal involving $500,000 cray boats allegedly gifted to people smugglers, slams the Greens’ “dangerous” rental policies, and highlights media manipulation by the ABC and BBC. The episode finishes with tax revolt warnings in Victoria, Australia’s business-friendly rankings, historical milestones and Jeremy’s trademark humour — all delivered from the garage with unfiltered honesty.

In this fiery Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux tears into Australia’s climate politics, the collapse of net-zero, and the rising despair among Generation Z. Reacting to the coldest November since 1913, Jeremy says the climate narrative has “fallen apart”, yet politicians and activists cling to it. He applauds the Liberal Party’s decision to drop net-zero, arguing the policy is impossible, unaffordable and driven by ideology rather than evidence.

Jeremy critiques Gen Z’s bleak outlook, calling it the direct result of poor economic management, high energy costs and political failure. He breaks down the cost of living crisis, skyrocketing electricity prices, China’s coal-powered advantage, and the $2 billion bid for COP 31 — which he labels “a con”. The episode wraps with historical moments, reflections on mass persuasion such as Jonestown, and a reminder to stay grounded in truth and common sense.
