WATCH: $30 Billion Before an Election? Jeremy Cordeaux Asks Why

In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux reacts to the federal government’s $30 billion nuclear submarine construction commitment in South Australia, questioning the timing of major infrastructure announcements so close to elections and highlighting the long-term cost burden for taxpayers. Jeremy also discusses the appointment of Angus Taylor as Liberal leader, outlining his early economic and immigration priorities while arguing that the Liberal Party must rebuild its credibility and present a clear alternative to Labor. The episode then turns to the CFMEU corruption scandal, following new reporting by investigative journalist Nick McKenzie. Jeremy raises concerns that despite previous government commitments, serious criminal allegations and misconduct within the union remain unresolved, potentially costing taxpayers billions through inflated infrastructure projects. Jeremy also explores the relationship between unions, political funding and government decision-making, calling for greater accountability and transparency in public spending and governance. This edition delivers a strong focus on economic responsibility, political leadership and integrity in public institutions, continuing the Garage’s tradition of blunt and unapologetic commentary.
