  • LISTEN: Labor's "Aspirational" Budget Under Fire, ISIS Brides & Australia's Tax Explosion
    Jun 3 2026

    Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a fiery Garage Edition focused on the Albanese Government's latest budget, questioning claims that it is "aspirational" and arguing it punishes ambition, investment and hard work. Jeremy takes aim at negative gearing changes, unrealised capital gains proposals, Australia's growing tax burden and what he sees as Labor's drift away from working Australians. He also discusses ISIS brides appearing in court, whether justice is truly being served, and reflects on political hypocrisy, government spending and taxpayer-funded perks. Plus, Jeremy explores things Australians don't see anymore, from phone boxes and trafficators to Mr Whippy vans, before wrapping up with a fascinating journey through history, including Dunkirk, D-Day, Henry Ford, Tiananmen Square and Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A.
