Brumbies, The Green Agenda And The Cost Of Living: A Caller Named Maria Lets Fly | Court of Public Opinion
Jeremy Cordeaux takes a call from Maria, who is in no mood to hold back. She wants the wild brumbies of the high country left alone and the New South Wales environment minister held to account, pointing to the Rewild the Wild campaign and the fight to stop the cull. She argues the Greens have become a party of control, and rails against the wind factories and green hydrogen plants she says never stacked up. Jeremy and the studio weigh in on Pauline Hanson, David Shoebridge and the price of electricity. This interview aired live on The Court of Public Opinion on Friday 30 October 2026.

Caleb Bond On Aged Care, The Super Rort And Why Sixteen-Year-Olds Shouldn’t Vote | Court of Public Opinion
Commentator Caleb Bond joins Jeremy Cordeaux for a wide-ranging talk that starts with the Erin Patterson appeal and lands squarely on the cost of government. Caleb argues the superannuation system has grown out of control, questions where the money in aged care really goes, and makes the case against lowering the voting age to sixteen, pointing out how young voters tend to lean and why that is no accident. He and Jeremy turn to what is being taught in schools, America’s mood under Trump and a Glenn Beck warning about preparedness, and the pair trade views on where the country is heading.

Positive Pete Turns Cautious: Peter Switzer On Recession Risk And The AI Float Frenzy | Court of Public Opinion
Financial commentator Peter Switzer, the man they call Positive Pete, joins Jeremy Cordeaux from Sydney and admits he is not feeling his usual optimism. He walks through the shape the economy is really in, why he worries about a possible recession, and the frenzy around AI floats and multi-trillion-dollar valuations like Nvidia, warning it carries echoes of past manias. Switzer explains his multifaceted offering of postings, video and a weekly TV show, and he and Jeremy range across interest rates, inflation and where a cautious investor should look.

Leith van Onselen: Australia Is Drowning In Bureaucrats, And Here’s The Fix | Court of Public Opinion
Leith van Onselen, chief economist and founder of MacroBusiness, joins Jeremy Cordeaux and makes a blunt case: Australia’s state and federal budgets are drowning in debt, and the fastest-growing part of the public service is the back-office bureaucracy, not the nurses and teachers who actually serve the public. He takes Victoria as the warning, where core bureaucrat numbers have jumped roughly two-thirds since 2014 while the population grew a fraction of that, and argues we need a prolonged period of budget austerity and a genuine razor gang. He explains why the Reserve Bank is left fighting governments that keep spending, how a burnout economy took hold, and what real central-bank independence would look like.

Steepest House Price Crash In History, And Why They’re Blaming The Wrong Thing: Jeremy Cordeaux In The Garage
Jeremy Cordeaux is back in the garage with Peter Clayton and Gary Hiscock for the Court of Public Opinion. The headline is the steepest quarterly fall in house prices on record, with every capital city down and Perth off 7.4 per cent, and Jeremy’s verdict that Labor has taken us from negative gearing to negative equity, with the government itself the biggest loser once you count the stamp duty. He turns to the alleged attack on independent MP Dr Helen Haynes and the excuse culture that reaches for mental illness, drugs or extremism, arguing we should focus on the person rather than the weapon, and asks what the closure of places like Glenside left walking our streets. There is the retired decorator now 2.3 million dollars richer from a shoebox of Pokemon cards, the protest set down for Remembrance Day, and a rich run through this day in history, from Black Tuesday and the Great Depression to Nvidia becoming the first five trillion dollar company on the very same date.

Sack Him Over Snowy 2.0, And The Morning Anthrax Shut Down The Studio: Jeremy Cordeaux In The Garage
Jeremy Cordeaux is back around the dining room table in the garage with Pete and Gary for the Court of Public Opinion. This episode: energy expert Professor Bruce Mountain says enough is enough on Snowy 2.0 after a blowout to twelve times its estimate, and Jeremy argues Chris Bowen should be sacked, with the project tipped to run from two billion dollars to as much as fifty. The COP31 gathering in Fiji has climbed from twenty million dollars to thirty five. Jeremy reflects on the shocking attack on independent MP Dr Helen Haynes and warns against using it to turn down the temperature in a way that muzzles debate, with a pointed word on the Prime Minister’s advisers and the dirt they dig. Plus the wild morning a powder-filled envelope addressed to the Court of Public Opinion shut down the radio station, and a stroll through this day in history, from nylon and Winx to Elon Musk taking over Twitter.

59 Advisers, 156 Trusts And A Secret Michelin Bill: Jeremy Cordeaux In The Garage
Jeremy Cordeaux is back in the garage with Pete and Gary for another Court of Public Opinion, and he is still counting the cost of government. He returns to the 59 personal advisers working for the Prime Minister and asks the question nobody in Canberra wants to answer: if everyone knows, why does no one in opposition say a word? He digs into the family trusts sitting inside Parliament itself, where 70 members declare 156 trusts between them and one Labor MP alone lists six, then reminds you that minimising your tax is a right, not a crime. He wants to know what the government quietly paid to bring Michelin to Adelaide, where ten restaurants took a star and Magill Estate took two, and he makes the case that you cannot buy credibility at any price. There is the extraordinary story of how Ford sold its old engine line to China and helped create Chery, the brand now on track to outsell Ford in Britain. Plus the Bureau of Meteorology weather-stats row, the CFMEU questions hanging over the South Road build, and a rich run through this day in history, from Edison's light bulb to Eva Peron.

Unemployment Worse Than The Pandemic, 59 Advisers On $400k & The "Fairness" Argument That Falls Apart | Court of Public Opinion
Jeremy Cordeaux is in the garage with Pete and Gary, and opens on the number the government would rather you did not notice: unemployment is now higher than it was at the peak of the pandemic, with 50,000 small businesses gone in the past eighteen months. He argues Labor keeps loading up what it calls reform, measures designed to save or make the government money, while doing nothing to curb its own spending. He reads the mood inside Labor as the finger pointing begins, with talk of a reshuffle and questions over Treasurer Jim Chalmers, and warns it is starting to echo the Rudd and Gillard years. Then he takes apart the fairness argument put by Assistant Treasurer Dan Mulino on trusts and tax, pointing to the Comcar, the superannuation and the travel allowances that politicians enjoy and the rest of us pay for, and asks where the real savings are: the 59 personal advisers to the Prime Minister on up to $400,000 each. Plus Labor's digital duty of care and the we will control slip on free speech, why gambling advertising escapes the same scrutiny, a brief word on the allegations around Senator Jordon Steele-John, and the usual look back at this day in history, from the Sydney Opera House opening in 1973 to Tom Petty.

Peter Goers Reveals the Tragedy Behind His Most Personal Show Yet | Court of Public Opinion

He describes being sent to America at 25 and why he calls the show a tribute to his parents, told with a wry humour. Peter also explains why he believes grief has become the theme of our times, shares a moving story of a grieving corella at Naracoorte, and joins Jeremy in asking where Australia's great ratbags have gone, from Prince Leonard of Hutt River to Bea Miles.

Zed Nasheet Dated a Girl for Six Weeks to Win a Listing | Court of Public Opinion
Real estate agent and author Zed Nasheet joins Jeremy Cordeaux and Gary Hiscock to talk about his new book, The Art of Closing Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime. Zed says selling is about persuasion and storytelling rather than pressure, and that real estate is about people, not properties. He shares the tough first three years when he made no money, his run as a top salesperson, the story of dating someone for six weeks to land a listing, and why too much choice kills a sale. Jeremy recalls the armed guard at a Burnside jewellery store and confesses he is usually sold on a house before he makes the inquiry.

Dr John Bruni Warns Australia Could Be the Next Ukraine | Court of Public Opinion
Dr John Bruni of SAGE International joins Jeremy Cordeaux at the dining room table for a wide ranging look at world affairs. He starts with his podcast conversation with Harvard's Avi Loeb about UAP claims, then turns to Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Ukraine, and the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. Dr Bruni argues that Elon Musk's control of Starlink shows how exposed a dependent ally can be, and asks what that means for Australia's defence. He also explains who the Houthis are, why he believes Saudi forces have struggled against them, and why Yemen remains a humanitarian disaster.

Ann Nalder Tells Jeremy Cordeaux Small Business Has No Voice, And It's Time To Fight Back | Court of Public Opinion
Ann Nalder, founder and CEO of the Australian Small Business Association, joins Jeremy Cordeaux to explain why she believes the country's 2.7 million small businesses are being ignored, squeezed by rising costs and buried under one-size-fits-all policy. She takes aim at big corporations paying small suppliers 120 days or more late, questions why a Parliament House meeting on small business policy has gone nowhere, and backs Jeremy's call for small business to organise like a union and make its voice heard.

Professor Ian Plimer joins Jeremy Cordeaux in the studio with a five-ounce gold nugget from his own small North Queensland mine and his seventeenth book, Gold, Everything You Need to Know, which is already in reprint a week after release. He explains why gold is so heavy and how nuggets grow, argues that gold has held its value for two thousand years while money has lost it, revisits the sale of Australia's gold reserves, and takes listeners inside the Kalgoorlie Gold Police and some of history's great gold heists. The conversation finishes on universities, mining engineering graduates and why he believes the sector has lost its way.

Samela Harris Unloads on the Premier Over Adelaide's Trees and Reveals Her Shine Secret | Court of Public Opinion
Former Advertiser arts and entertainment writer Samela Harris joins Jeremy Cordeaux to explain why she has lost patience with Premier Peter Malinauskas over the felling of old trees for motor racing and the handling of Adelaide's park lands, which she says is happening behind closed doors. She also questions the paid Michelin guide arrangement and what she calls a lot of undisclosed sums. Samela tells the story of the page three colour piece that led Scott Hicks to David Helfgott and the film Shine, shares news of her work with Women in Media and her recovery from retina surgery, and swaps memories of the Grand Prix and classic cars with Jeremy.

Should an Execution Be Live Streamed? Historian Carolyn Strange Tells Jeremy Cordeaux What History Says | Court of Public Opinion
Emeritus Professor Carolyn Strange from the ANU History Department joins Jeremy Cordeaux to discuss the planned live stream of a US military firing-squad execution, which has now been called off while the execution itself is set to proceed. She explains how the power to take a life has always been tied to rulers, from Roman emperors to modern presidents, why the live stream plan echoes 19th century arguments that moved executions behind prison walls, what really happens with firing squad rounds, and why 200 US exonerations since 1976 matter in any debate about appeals and death row.

A 'Recharge Surcharge' On Your Power Bill, The Greens' Supermarket Grab & Vale Jeffrey Archer | Court of Public Opinion
Jeremy Cordeaux is back in the garage with Pete and Gary, and opens with a timely warning for anyone posting Christmas presents overseas: don't leave it past the first of December. He takes aim at the Prime Minister's chosen legacy of rewiring the nation, saying the transmission towers and wires criss-crossing the country will be remembered with every electricity bill, and slams a proposed levy on power bills to fund electric vehicle charging stations, which he dubs the recharge surcharge. If you choose an EV, he says, the cost of charging should be yours. He questions the digital duty of care legislation and why it does not extend to gambling advertising, then turns to the Greens' plan, led by Max Chandler-Mather, for the government to take over 200 Coles and Woolworths supermarkets and run cut-price stores. Jeremy recalls Bob Hawke-era ventures such as Bourke's department store and the ACTU's Solo service stations, and points out supermarket profit margins of around one per cent. He also calls for an end to the $200 million spent by the state government on advertising in four years. Jeremy remembers Lord Jeffrey Archer, a frequent guest from his radio days, looks at David Jones' $95.5 million loss as Country Road, Witchery and Mimco pull out of 100 shopfronts, questions the High Court's coal decision, and says South Australia's 100 per cent renewables target has quietly become 75 per cent. Plus 53,000 complaints about phone reception, Finland's search for a professional smeller, and this day in history, from Mata Hari, Napoleon's exile and the invention of shredded wheat to Penny Marshall, Cole Porter and Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator.

Your Home Is Worth 20% Less, Trump's Russian Diesel Deal & Paying Tax On A Credit Card | Court of Public Opinion
Jeremy Cordeaux is back in the garage with Pete and Gary, and opens by congratulating South Australia's police commissioner Grant Stevens on his appointment as the state's next governor. He marks 25 years since Australia committed to the war in Afghanistan, then turns to a property market where he says values are down 19 to 20 per cent across the country, asking how anyone can call it good news when most people's only significant asset is now worth less. He criticises President Trump's decision to lift the ban on Russian diesel and tell Ukraine not to strike Russian oil refineries, and says he hopes Europe will make up the shortfall. On immigration, Jeremy says migrants have largely been great contributors to Australia, asks why one million people remain on the dole while jobs go unfilled, and argues a country has every right to be selective about who it lets in. He takes aim at the tax office's credit card decision, with the Treasurer granting small business a reprieve for the rest of the financial year, and says that if the system has forced small business to pay its tax on a credit card, something is terribly wrong. His fix: throw the 17,000 pages of tax law in the bin and start again with a simpler system that rewards achievement. Plus birthday wishes in the garage and this day in history, from William Shatner reaching space and the birth of Margaret Thatcher to Paul Simon, Ian Thorp, Nellie Melba's operatic debut and Nana Mouskouri.
