In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy dives into a fast-moving mix of politics, economics and the absurdities shaping Australia in late 2025. From fears of an “AI investment bubble” to staggering stock market swings, Jeremy breaks down what the tech boom really means for everyday Australians. He calls out the irony of government climate posturing, questions the logic behind Australia’s renewable commitments, and highlights the contradictions in exporting coal while preaching net-zero.

Jeremy also tears into the Bureau of Meteorology’s shocking $96.5 million website rebuild, the CSIRO’s mass job cuts, and the growing dysfunction inside Australia’s key institutions. Plus, he discusses the bizarre $100 million government ad campaign surrounding South Australia’s algal bloom, and the ongoing tension between bureaucracy, red tape and common sense.

It’s classic Jeremy: sharp, unscripted, fearless — with plenty of history, humour and “did that really happen?” moments.

In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux fires off a rapid-paced commentary on immigration, energy prices, government incompetence and the collapse of small business confidence. Jeremy reveals shocking data showing a third of small businesses will close within six months—driven entirely by soaring energy costs caused by government policy. He calls for a national debate on sustainable immigration numbers, challenges political cowardice, and proposes a simple, winning slogan: “Make electricity cheap again.”

Jeremy also dismantles the controversial “Adolescent Man Box” study, criticising the suggestion that masculinity leads to violence. He exposes a stunning Border Force scandal involving $500,000 cray boats allegedly gifted to people smugglers, slams the Greens’ “dangerous” rental policies, and highlights media manipulation by the ABC and BBC. The episode finishes with tax revolt warnings in Victoria, Australia’s business-friendly rankings, historical milestones and Jeremy’s trademark humour — all delivered from the garage with unfiltered honesty.

In this fiery Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux tears into Australia’s climate politics, the collapse of net-zero, and the rising despair among Generation Z. Reacting to the coldest November since 1913, Jeremy says the climate narrative has “fallen apart”, yet politicians and activists cling to it. He applauds the Liberal Party’s decision to drop net-zero, arguing the policy is impossible, unaffordable and driven by ideology rather than evidence.

Jeremy critiques Gen Z’s bleak outlook, calling it the direct result of poor economic management, high energy costs and political failure. He breaks down the cost of living crisis, skyrocketing electricity prices, China’s coal-powered advantage, and the $2 billion bid for COP 31 — which he labels “a con”. The episode wraps with historical moments, reflections on mass persuasion such as Jonestown, and a reminder to stay grounded in truth and common sense.
