LISTEN: Cost of Living, Immigration and National Security — Jeremy Cordeaux

Jeremy discusses the South Australian election campaign, questioning why ambulance ramping — once a major political issue — is no longer front and centre, despite worsening conditions. He also explores policy ideas such as stamp duty relief to encourage downsizing, which he believes could improve housing availability. The episode then moves to global economic and political developments, including Europe’s shift in electric vehicle policy and concerns over Chinese manufacturing dominance. Jeremy also raises alarm about rising private health insurance premiums and calls for reforms such as making private health insurance tax deductible to keep the system affordable and sustainable. A major focus of the discussion is the cost-of-living crisis, with real wages falling behind inflation, rising electricity and insurance costs, and declining living standards. Jeremy argues that many Australians feel worse off despite official economic statistics suggesting otherwise.

In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a strong critique of Australia’s immigration settings, economic direction and political leadership, urging the newly formed Opposition to adopt clearer and more decisive policies ahead of the next federal election. Jeremy argues that assimilation must replace multiculturalism as the central principle of immigration, with a temporary reduction in migration numbers to help restore Australia’s standard of living and social cohesion. He also calls for a reprioritisation of natural resources, including the use of export taxes on gas to ensure Australians benefit first from domestic energy supply. The episode explores bold tax reform ideas, including tax-deductible private health insurance and school fees, as well as making inflation tax deductible to hold governments accountable for economic mismanagement. Jeremy also discusses government spending on Indigenous programs, domestic violence initiatives and the broader issue of bureaucracy absorbing funding without delivering measurable outcomes. The discussion then turns to housing affordability and technological innovation, focusing on robotic bricklaying as a potential solution to Australia’s housing crisis, and the resistance such disruption faces from unions and political structures.

LISTEN: Interest Rates Up, Productivity Down — Who’s Running the Country?
In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux reacts to another 25 basis point interest rate rise and questions whether Australians are being forced to endure cost-of-living pain that could be avoided with better economic management. Jeremy argues that runaway government spending — now sitting at 27% of GDP — combined with high electricity costs is driving inflation and productivity decline. He criticises the NDIS as financially unsustainable and suggests alternative monetary approaches, including temporarily increasing superannuation contributions to reduce spending without crushing households. At a state level, Jeremy questions election promises involving hundreds of millions in public spending, challenges the transparency of the not-for-profit sector, and criticises proposals to close hospital infrastructure amid ramping and bed shortages.

LISTEN: AI, National Debt & a Political System Losing Control — Jeremy Cordeaux
In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a wide-ranging and deeply concerning commentary on political leadership, national debt, higher education and the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence. Jeremy predicts an imminent leadership change within the Liberal Party, arguing that opposition infighting is allowing the Albanese government to escape scrutiny during a worsening cost-of-living crisis. Jeremy reflects on Australia’s economic shift since the Whitlam era, warning the nation is suffering from “reform fatigue” driven by ideology rather than outcomes. He raises alarm over skyrocketing national debt, uncontrolled government spending and the absence of meaningful cost–benefit analysis across public policy. A major focus of the episode is the threat posed by AI to universities, professional qualifications and public trust. Jeremy warns that artificial intelligence is enabling students to graduate with credentials but without competence, undermining medicine, law, engineering and psychology. He also discusses the rise of AI-generated films, predictions that machines could overtake humans by 2047, and the growing tension between free speech and “social inclusion”. The episode closes with a sharp critique of proposed changes to capital gains tax concessions, a reminder of Bill Shorten’s failed tax agenda, and a reflection on accountability, freedom and common sense in modern Australia.

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.

In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a hard-hitting economic and political assessment as Parliament returns and Australians brace for another interest rate rise.

Jeremy also condemns $50 million in foreign aid sent to Afghanistan, questioning priorities during a domestic cost-of-living crisis.

Reacting to a Victorian council flying the Australian flag at half-mast on January 26, Jeremy rejects the “Invasion Day” narrative and explains why Australia Day is rightly anchored to the 1948 Nationality and Citizenship Act — the moment Australia formally became a nation of citizens.

He also delivers an emotional update on his campaign to stop the slaughter of wild brumbies in Kosciuszko National Park, condemning the silence of major animal welfare organisations.

Jeremy Cordeaux returns to the garage for the first show of 2026 with a blistering commentary on the Bondi Beach massacre, political cowardice, and what he sees as the collapse of free speech and multiculturalism in Australia. Jeremy accuses Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of being dragged “kicking and screaming” into announcing a Royal Commission, questioning what the government is hiding and why radical Islam has barely been mentioned since the attack. He challenges the government’s gun law diversion, criticises the appointment of a left-leaning Royal Commissioner, and warns that hate speech legislation and misinformation laws are being used to shut down dissent. Jeremy also condemns the cancellation of Adelaide Writers’ Week, highlights what he calls “no-go zones” in Lakemba, and argues that multiculturalism has become monoculturalism. From free speech to immigration, ideology, national security and political hypocrisy, this explosive first episode of 2026 sets the tone for a confrontational year ahead.
