Wednesday Feb 8, 2023 - 37 Million given to ALP by Union movement

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.

This is a wide-ranging, unapologetic Garage session centred on productivity, accountability and restoring confidence in Australia’s future.

Assimilation, Housing and the Future of Work in Australia

LISTEN: Immigration, Innovation and the Cost of Bureaucracy — Jeremy Cordeaux

In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux reacts to the federal government’s $30 billion nuclear submarine construction commitment in South Australia, questioning the timing of major infrastructure announcements so close to elections and highlighting the long-term cost burden for taxpayers.

Jeremy also discusses the appointment of Angus Taylor as Liberal leader, outlining his early economic and immigration priorities while arguing that the Liberal Party must rebuild its credibility and present a clear alternative to Labor.

The episode then turns to the CFMEU corruption scandal, following new reporting by investigative journalist Nick McKenzie. Jeremy raises concerns that despite previous government commitments, serious criminal allegations and misconduct within the union remain unresolved, potentially costing taxpayers billions through inflated infrastructure projects.

Jeremy also explores the relationship between unions, political funding and government decision-making, calling for greater accountability and transparency in public spending and governance.

This edition delivers a strong focus on economic responsibility, political leadership and integrity in public institutions, continuing the Garage’s tradition of blunt and unapologetic commentary.

Leadership Change, Corruption Claims and the Cost to Taxpayers

LISTEN: $30 Billion Promises and Union Scandals — Jeremy Cordeaux Unfiltered

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.

The episode also revisits the brumby cull in Kosciuszko National Park, calls for “castle doctrine” style self-defence protections for homeowners, and raises concerns about animal welfare in extreme heat.

As always, it’s a blunt, fast-paced and unapologetic Garage session focused on accountability, productivity and common sense economics.
