About this listen

In this Australia Day Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux takes aim at what he calls the deliberate distortion of Australian history. Reacting to a Victorian council flying the Australian flag at half-mast on January 26, Jeremy rejects the “Invasion Day” narrative and explains why Australia Day is rightly anchored to the 1948 Nationality and Citizenship Act — the moment Australia formally became a nation of citizens.

Jeremy contrasts post-war immigration policies built on assimilation with what he describes as today’s failed experiment in multiculturalism. He also delivers an emotional update on his campaign to stop the slaughter of wild brumbies in Kosciuszko National Park, condemning the silence of major animal welfare organisations. The episode touches on public safety, ideology, free speech, international events and historical perspective, closing with Jeremy’s trademark reflections on culture, common sense and national identity.
