Jeremy Cordeaux delivers another passionate edition of The Court of Public Opinion, taking aim at government spending, taxation, gambling advertising, public sector growth and the treatment of Australia's iconic Brumbies. Jeremy outlines what he believes are the major reforms needed to get Australia back on track, including lower taxes, reduced government bureaucracy and a stronger focus on productivity and economic growth. He also questions Labor's handling of gambling reform, discusses Australia's world-leading gambling losses, and argues that growing economic hardship is contributing to family stress, homelessness and financial desperation. The episode finishes with a strong defence of Australia's wild horses and a call for greater public action to stop the Brumby cull.
