In this blistering Garage Edition, Jeremy Cordeaux takes aim at the absurdities plaguing modern Australia. From the eye-watering $26,000 HIV injection to the Torres Strait Islanders suing the government for rising sea levels, no topic is off limits. Jeremy slams Chris Bowen’s $1.5M taxpayer-funded climate junket, unpacks Channel 9’s potential takeover, and questions why Angus Taylor struggles to speak plainly on war. Plus, Cuba's communist collapse, Connie Francis still singing at 87, and a fiery defence of free speech. It's the Court of Public Opinion—raw, real, and unfiltered.
