Broadcast from the garage, Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a wide-ranging critique of energy policy, national identity and political cowardice. He opens with Adelaide’s surging property prices and global praise for quality of life before turning to electric vehicle safety concerns, highlighting Volvo’s warning not to charge EV SUVs beyond 70 per cent due to fire risks.

Jeremy then launches into a fierce attack on Australia’s renewables-driven energy policy, arguing it has pushed inflation, interest rates and the cost of living higher while Australia exports cheap coal and gas to China and India. He questions the sustainability of rooftop solar, warning of looming disposal and replacement costs with no recycling plan in place.

The episode also tackles flag protocol and national symbolism after Australia’s High Commissioner to the UK sidelined the Australian flag on Australia Day, as well as polling showing Pauline Hanson as the country’s most popular politician. Jeremy closes with reflections on global instability, the Doomsday Clock, national pride, public safety, and what Australians should be debating next around the dining room table.
