In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux dives into the growing tension between equality, government overreach, and Australia’s shifting political landscape. From historical parallels between Whitlam-era apartheid sanctions and today’s debates over race-based policies in Victoria, to reports of hospital triage favouring patients by racial category, Jeremy questions the rise of “stealth” preferential systems. He also highlights major blowouts in South Australian government projects, ongoing CFMEU corruption scandals, and bizarre national stories—from Queensland schools teaching the wrong exam topic to copper thieves disrupting train networks. Plus, a look back at important events in history, celebrity birthdays, and a preview of Friday’s show with Johnny Mack. A fast-moving commentary spanning politics, culture, and the downright strange.
