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.
