LISTEN: Labor’s Rail Disaster, Woke Media Madness & Australia’s Tax Explosion | The Court of Public Opinion

Jeremy Cordeaux returns to the garage for another fiery edition of The Court of Public Opinion, tackling government waste, woke media absurdities, tax avoidance, infrastructure failures and the growing divide between common sense and political ideology. Jeremy questions Labor’s decision to effectively abandon the Inland Rail project, slams what he sees as political compromises tied to union influence, and weighs in on everything from the ABC’s perceived conflicts of interest to the bizarre trend of pixelating a dog’s face in the media. There’s also discussion around tax policy driving Australians toward collectibles and asset protection, the rise of the controversial “Enhanced Games” where performance-enhancing drugs are allowed, and inspiring stories of young Australians achieving extraordinary feats. Jeremy rounds out the episode with his signature “This Day in History” segment featuring Joan of Arc, Ian Fleming, Kylie Minogue, Audie Murphy, Watergate and more.
