    LISTEN: Coles Got Fined $100m for Lying — Why Not Labor? | 21 May 2026 (Garage Edition)

    Jeremy Cordeaux fires up the garage for a sharp post-Budget edition of The Court of Public Opinion. He opens light — Made in Australia Week and a nostalgic run through the greatest advertising slogans ever made — before turning the heat on Canberra. If Coles can be dragged to court and fined $100 million for misleading the public, why does the Labor Government get a free pass for misleading voters before the last election? Jeremy hammers the scrapping of negative gearing, the refusal to index bracket creep, the OECD-topping public service, and the quiet tabling of a damning Aged Care report on Budget day — a classic case of "putting out the trash." Plus Honda's first annual loss in 70 years, family trusts in the firing line, and the usual sweep through this day in history. In this episode: • Made in Australia Week and a tour through history's best ad slogans • Honda posts its first annual loss in 70 years — and its EV bet • "Coles got fined $100m — why not Labor?" The trust argument • Negative gearing scrapped, repeating the 1936 mistake • Family trusts in the firing line — the listener facing welfare • Angus Taylor's bracket creep indexation vs Chalmers' "can't afford it" • The OECD's biggest public service and the "banana republic" warning • The Aged Care report buried on Budget day • The Giggle for Girls / Roxanne Tickle court ruling • This day in history: Lindbergh, Earhart, the Falklands, Leo Sayer See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    LISTEN: Political Suicide Note: Why Albanese Is Whitlam 2.0 — 19 May 2026 (Garage Edition)

    Jeremy Cordeaux returns to the garage for a blistering post-Budget reckoning. With 83 percent of Australians telling pollsters Labor has lied, Jeremy argues this wasn’t a Budget — it was a political suicide note. He traces the eerie parallels between Anthony Albanese and Gough Whitlam, walks through the carnage Whitlam left behind in the 1970s, and warns that scrapping negative gearing — a tax mechanism introduced in 1936 to fix a housing shortage — will make today’s housing crisis worse, not better. He takes aim at the bloated public service (the largest in the OECD), the broken promises on tax, the unchecked immigration intake, and the Treasurer’s maths on who his measures will help versus hurt. Plus a hat tip to Pauline Hanson’s Friday appearance, the case for a Liberal–Nationals–One Nation showdown at the next election, and the usual sweep through the day in history. Seven million views in twenty-eight days — and Friday’s blockbuster panel recap (Adam Creighton, Dr John Bruni, Professor Plimer, Catherine Tilley, Frank Pangallo and Pauline Hanson) Why Jeremy calls the Budget a “political suicide note” for Labor 83 percent of Australians say Labor has lied — the post-Budget polling fallout The Whitlam–Albanese parallel: landslide majorities, “reform” rhetoric, and the dead hand of socialism What actually happened after Whitlam: 60 percent stock market crash, 83 percent house price surge, record bankruptcies and recession Negative gearing scrapped — and why that contradicts the very 1936 logic that created it The Treasurer’s 7,500-people maths problem: who gets hurt vs who gets helped Pauline Hanson’s “shit sandwich” line and the case for Liberal–National–One Nation cooperation The 2019 Bill Shorten flashback: Australians already rejected this policy mix Australia has the largest public service in the OECD — start the cuts there Made in Australia Week and the legacy of the 1975 Lima Declaration This day in history: Karl Benz, Anne Boleyn, Marilyn Monroe sings to JFK, Pete Townshend’s birthday and more See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
