LISTEN: Power Bills, Public Waste & a Government Failing the Pub Test — Jeremy Cordeaux
Monday, 2 February, 2026
In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a hard-hitting economic and political assessment as Parliament returns and Australians brace for another interest rate rise. Jeremy warns that soaring electricity prices — driven by government energy policy — are about to jump another 20–25 per cent, pushing households and businesses toward bankruptcy while cheap Australian coal and gas power China and India at a fraction of the cost. He criticises runaway government spending, ballooning hospital funding commitments, and what he calls the unchecked growth, waste and fraud inside the NDIS. Jeremy also condemns $50 million in foreign aid sent to Afghanistan, questioning priorities during a domestic cost-of-living crisis. The episode takes aim at massive public-sector salary increases, media silence fuelled by government advertising, and the planned slaughter of thousands of brumbies in Kosciuszko National Park. It’s a blunt, wide-ranging and unapologetic garage session focused on accountability, priorities and the “pub test”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
