Episode Synopsis

In this garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux dives into a wide range of provocative, humorous, and deeply critical topics. From government waste to wild stories from around the globe, Jeremy questions the logic of politicians, bureaucrats, and society’s ever-changing standards. He reflects on pharmaceutical delays, taxpayer-funded luxuries, disturbing international news, and Australia’s energy and defence contradictions—all while blending history, satire, and current affairs. Delays in the PBS (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme) listings. Politicians' travel and spending habits, e.g. Penny Wong’s expenses. Children restricted from TikTok/YouTube, but can vote at 16. Disturbing Danish zoo policy: feeding elderly pets to predators. Breast milk ice cream released in the U.S. “No Pong” deodorant campaign questioned. Australian talk radio networks up for sale. Defence Force using TikTok for recruitment despite national security bans. Red Cross allowing LGBTQI+ and sex workers to donate blood. Indian call centres pushing electricity savings. Australia’s expensive energy vs India’s cheap coal. 50% increase in land clearing despite net-zero rhetoric. Reflections on VJ Day, history tidbits (AI Jesus, Enzo Ferrari, Doc Holliday).
