3-HOUR LIVE STREAM: Australia Is Falling Behind? Jeremy Cordeaux Exposes the 4,950-Approval Disaster
In this special 3-hour LIVE edition streamed from his dining room table, Jeremy Cordeaux brings together sharp political commentary, major energy debates, industry insights, and candid discussions about Australia’s future. Joined by guests from politics, academia and business, Jeremy dives into South Australia’s crushing red tape problem, the 4,950 approvals blocking mining projects, the future of nuclear under AUKUS, and the national “subsidy addiction” distorting energy prices. The panel unpacks China’s EV dominance, forced labour concerns, COP hypocrisy, and Adelaide’s bid to host COP 31 at a taxpayer cost of $2 billion. Jeremy questions the reality of “free electricity”, the Greens’ power in the Upper House, and the generational divide shaping energy policy. With listener calls, Q&A, and big-picture analysis, this episode blends humour, frustration and common sense — all from the famous dining-room-table studio. A must-watch for anyone interested in politics, energy, economics and Australia’s direction.
