In this extraordinary Garage edition, Jeremy Cordeaux breaks his planned summer silence to address what he calls a national watershed moment following the Bondi Beach attack on the Jewish community. Jeremy condemns political platitudes and media theatrics, arguing the tragedy was preventable and had nothing to do with gun laws. He challenges the federal government’s response, criticises political correctness in national security, and questions why extremist threats were not acted on despite prior intelligence awareness.

Jeremy delivers a blunt assessment of multiculturalism, border security, immigration screening, and the government’s reluctance to confront Islamic extremism for political reasons. He contrasts Australia’s approach with Israel’s security reality, warns against disarming law-abiding citizens, and calls for honesty about values, assimilation, and national identity. It is one of Jeremy’s most uncompromising commentaries to date — urgent, emotional, and unapologetically direct.

In the final Garage edition for 2025, Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a sharp, wide-ranging commentary that pulls no punches. From the long-delayed Jobs for Mates review exposing political nepotism in government board appointments, to the continued failure to implement child safety recommendations from the Royal Commission, Jeremy questions integrity, accountability and public trust. He criticises the $1.6 million renovation of the Greens’ party room, calls out ideological overreach in schools with gender-neutral toilets for young children, and challenges the credibility of Australia’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner.

Jeremy also recommits to the fight against the ongoing brumby cull in Kosciuszko National Park, accusing government boards and the media of silence and cruelty. The episode wraps with reflections on governance, values, cultural priorities and a festive sign-off, marking the end of another uncompromising year from the garage.
