In this no-holds-barred episode of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux reflects on government inefficiencies, absurd spending in aged care and education, and what he calls the “$48 billion NDIS con.” From a passionate critique of racial politics in Victoria’s new treaty, to Australia’s misguided Pacific climate deals and bloated federal departments, Jeremy doesn’t pull punches. With trademark wit, he calls out “talk therapists” earning $194/hr and proposes an audacious solution—become one himself. It’s thought-provoking, funny, and furious. Topics covered; 1 in 4 Australian children lacking verbal communication skills Overcrowded hospitals and aged care patients misallocated to hospital beds Jeremy questions the purpose of the Federal Department of Health Roy Morgan’s “Most Trusted Brands” survey (Bunnings, ALDI, Apple, etc.) Victoria’s Aboriginal treaty and third chamber of parliament $500 million climate deal with Vanuatu and Solomon Islands Australia's 1% emissions vs China’s 30% – climate hypocrisy Jason Clare’s new “Teaching and Learning Commission” NDIS absurdities: $194/hr art, music and “talk therapy” Stripper clubs as “therapy” – paid by taxpayers Jeremy’s comedic proposal to become a talk therapist himself Sponsor shoutouts: The Rising Sun and Elder Fine Art Birthday shoutouts and historical “On This Day” notes See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
