LISTEN: Freedom of Information Under Attack, King Charles at Uluru & Barnaby’s Big Move – Jeremy Cordeaux
In this Garage Edition, Jeremy Cordeaux fires up The Court of Public Opinion with a classic mix of politics, wit, and reflection. From the government’s quiet attempt to restrict Freedom of Information, to King Charles meeting with representatives from Uluru, lithium battery dangers, and Barnaby Joyce’s rumoured alliance with Pauline Hanson — Jeremy calls it as he sees it. He also praises SA Premier Peter Malinauskas for his leadership, criticises “race-based politics”, and pays tribute to icons from Brigitte Bardot to Audrey Hepburn. A blend of political punch, nostalgia, and straight talk — the Garage Edition at its finest.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LISTEN: Lydia Thorpe’s Firestorm, Electric Dreams & the Cult of Climate Change – Jeremy Cordeaux
Jeremy Cordeaux’s Court of Public Opinion – Garage Edition tackles the week’s sharpest stories: the Grattan Institute’s bold claim that electricity prices will drop 50% by 2050, Victoria’s economic and crime crisis, Lydia Thorpe’s shocking call to “burn down Parliament House,” and the cult-like thinking behind climate change activism. Jeremy draws parallels between modern movements and historical mass delusions — from Jonestown to lemmings — and ends with reflections on youth obsession, sainthood for a teenage gamer, and the irony of chasing eternal youth while ignoring wisdom. Topics Discussed; Grattan Institute predicts electricity costs will halve by 2050 — Jeremy questions the evidence Jim Chalmers reverses decision on taxing unrealised super gains Victoria’s economy in decline: 9/10 jobs now public sector Lydia Thorpe urges burning down Parliament House Gaza ceasefire protests and political hypocrisy The death of Joan Anderson, Australian inventor of the hula hoop Cults, crazes and climate change – what drives blind belief? The rise of “climate religion” as the new mass hysteria The global obsession with youth and “forever young” marketing The Catholic Church beatifies a 15-year-old gamer – “God’s influencer” Historical notes: Winnie the Pooh, the Battle of Hastings, Chuck Yeager, Bing Crosby See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
