Jeremy Cordeaux brings another sharp, funny, and fearless edition of The Court of Public Opinion – Garage Edition. From Christmas spending and phone habits to Pauline Hanson’s rise and Victoria’s latest “nanny state” laws, Jeremy dissects the week’s absurdities with his signature wit. He takes aim at $325,000 machete bins, political correctness, and the death of common sense, while paying tribute to icons like Jilly Cooper and Dolly Parton. It’s a mix of satire, nostalgia, and straight talk — the way only Jeremy can do it.
