In this March 19 Garage Edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a wide-ranging and opinionated take on Australia’s political, economic and cultural landscape.

Jeremy opens with a call for Australians to get vaccinated ahead of winter, before reflecting on changing weather patterns and questioning mainstream climate narratives.

The episode dives into government policy decisions, including age discrepancies in seniors benefits and controversial spending on cultural burn programs. Jeremy raises concerns about the size and cost of Australia’s public sector, warning that the current trajectory may be unsustainable.

Social issues are also front and centre, including rising forced marriages involving minors and broader concerns about immigration and cultural integration.

Jeremy also explores the decline of handwritten communication, using Denmark’s move to eliminate traditional mail as a sign of cultural change in the digital age.

The discussion turns sharply back to politics, with strong criticism of the federal government’s upcoming “reform budget”, cost-of-living pressures, and what Jeremy sees as misleading messaging around a fuel crisis.

The episode wraps with historical reflections and commentary on leadership, drawing inspiration from Abraham Lincoln’s economic principles.
