Jeremy Cordeaux is back in the garage with Pete and Gary, and he's found the government some money. From next April, he explains, 3.2 million Australians over 65 will lose the private health insurance rebate that keeps them out of the public system — a saving of $7.9 billion the government says it simply can't do without. Jeremy begs to differ, and reads Health Minister Mark Butler a list: $23.4 billion for electric-car subsidies, $100 million for a failed Bureau of Meteorology website, $65 million for journalists at billion-dollar media companies, half a billion for a Papua New Guinea rugby league team, $4.2 million for a South Pacific resort stopover for COP delegates. Priorities, Minister. He also takes on the mass citizenship ceremonies in Tony Burke's south-western Sydney — and the four flags new Australians were presented with — asking what picture of national identity that paints. Plus new Victorian Premier Ben Carroll's claim that "integrity will not be optional" (and why Jeremy says he talked himself into a corner), the belated royal commission into the CFMEU, Australia Post pushing a letter toward two dollars, and a run of gloriously useless inventions — the pet rock, diet water, the DVD rewinder. And this day in history: the World Wide Web, Hiroshima, Big Ben, and the world's oldest tree, accidentally cut down.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeremy Cordeaux is back in the garage with Pete and Gary, and there's plenty on his mind. Pauline Hanson has regained top spot as preferred prime minister in the AFR's numbers — ahead of Labor and well ahead of the Liberals — and Jeremy can only imagine the panic in the back rooms. He turns to the quiet end of fuel excise relief, and his fury that not one journalist asked the Treasurer why the government would remove cost-of-living help while indexing the excise up on top — a fuel-price rise he warns will multiply through the price of everything. He also unpacks the $23.4 billion in electric-car subsidies running to 2036 ("no wonder they're selling well — what happens when it disappears?"), the "62 cents a day" tax cut he calls a disgrace, and Jacinta Allan's farewell speech as Victorian Premier — a "complete rewrite of history" from ten years of debt, the CFMEU, and a Commonwealth Games that cost nearly a billion and never happened. Plus H5 bird flu centred on South Australia, why the Muslim Brotherhood is banned in several countries but not Australia, and this day in history — Dom Pérignon, the Queen Mother, Marilyn Monroe, Louis Armstrong and Reg Grundy, for whom Jeremy once hosted Blind Date for $15 an episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Victoria has a new premier this week - and within hours of being sworn in, Ben Carroll did the one thing his predecessor spent months refusing to do: call a royal commission into the CFMEU. Jacinta Allan's resignation was driven in large part by a corruption scandal engulfing the state's Big Build, where a landmark report earlier this year alleged the construction union had siphoned $15 billion from taxpayers while the government turned a blind eye. Reporters at The Age have been documenting the organised crime, intimidation and misconduct across the union's Victorian operations since 2024. In this episode of The Briefing, we revisit Chris Spyrou's conversation with award-winning investigative journalist Nick McKenzie from The Age, recorded back in February when that explosive report first landed.

Jeremy Cordeaux is back in the garage with Pete and Gary for a Court of Public Opinion that goes hunting for the taxpayer's money — and finds it missing. He asks a deceptively simple question: has any government project in Australian history ever come in on budget? The North Sydney pool was meant to cost $20 million and reopens after $120 million. Snowy 2.0 was pitched at $2 billion and is now tracking closer to $50 billion. Where, he asks, are the guardrails? He also digs into why public housing costs so much more to build than private, why government charges and taxes swallow half the cost of a new home, and why building in Central Australia runs 150% above comparable housing elsewhere. Building costs are up 50% in five years, the Master Builders Association head has been threatened with death for arguing for transparency, and Jeremy says the ABCC should be restored — but won't be, while the government sits in the CFMEU's pocket. Then there's the story he finds genuinely bizarre: a federal government selling its 5% deposit scheme to first home buyers while placing ads overseas, in Arabic and Chinese. Plus Channel Seven's Spotlight and what Jeremy calls a media campaign to shut Pauline Hanson up; Rupert Lowe of Restore Britain and the extraordinary suggestion that "Anglo-Saxon" is code for white supremacy; the Islamophobia report the government has sat on for nine months; Paul Keating's plan to merge the $4.5 trillion super industry with social security; and why over-regulation will send the AI industry — and its very portable capital — anywhere but here. Jeremy also revisits his own brush with terrorism: the 1977 Hanafi siege in Washington, and the interview he landed live on air with the man who led it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
