In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy dives into a fast-moving mix of politics, economics and the absurdities shaping Australia in late 2025. From fears of an “AI investment bubble” to staggering stock market swings, Jeremy breaks down what the tech boom really means for everyday Australians. He calls out the irony of government climate posturing, questions the logic behind Australia’s renewable commitments, and highlights the contradictions in exporting coal while preaching net-zero. Jeremy also tears into the Bureau of Meteorology’s shocking $96.5 million website rebuild, the CSIRO’s mass job cuts, and the growing dysfunction inside Australia’s key institutions. Plus, he discusses the bizarre $100 million government ad campaign surrounding South Australia’s algal bloom, and the ongoing tension between bureaucracy, red tape and common sense. It’s classic Jeremy: sharp, unscripted, fearless — with plenty of history, humour and “did that really happen?” moments.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the biggest risk in AI isn't the technology itself, but building it without understanding the problem first? Professor Didar Zowghi leads pioneering research on diversity and inclusion in AI at CSIRO's Data61. Her DNI guidelines were incorporated into Australia's national framework for AI in government in 2024. But her path to becoming a trailblazer in AI began unexpectedly, as a young woman from Tehran who couldn't study physics in the UK because her English wasn't good enough. Computer science, they told her, had its own language. That "serendipitous path" led to decades of groundbreaking work in human-centered technology design, over 300 published articles, and a leadership philosophy built on empathy, courage, and lifting others up. In this conversation, Didar shares her "don't think, just do" attitude through discrimination and doubt, why she advocates for "move fast and fix things" rather than "break things," and why 87% of AI projects fail. She reveals why organisations must understand the problem before chasing solutions, why equity and inclusion are safety issues, and how her mentors taught her which battles to fight in a male-dominated world. This one's for leaders who want to build technology, and lead teams,that truly serve humans. ----------------------- Craving inspiration?

Samir Alhafith, founder of The Sydney Project, and Navy Clearance Diver Lieutenant Rus Pnevski take us deep into one of NSW's most enduring maritime mysteries — the rediscovery of the SS Nemesis. Built in 1880 by Thomas Turnbull & Sons in Whitby, England, the steamship was later used to haul coal between Newcastle and Melbourne and was tragically lost in a savage gale off Wollongong on the night of July 8–9, 1904, taking all 32 crew members with her.For over a century, the location of the 73-metre iron-hulled wreck remained unknown. Debris and bodies washed ashore at Cronulla, but the hull eluded discovery — until May 2022, when Subsea Professional Marine Services stumbled upon it by accident while searching for lost shipping containers roughly 26 km offshore in about 160 metres of water.Identification came after CSIRO's RV Investigator conducted high-resolution seafloor mapping with multibeam echosounders and captured drop-camera footage of key structural features — including two of the ship's anchors — confirming the wreck as the long-lost SS Nemesis.Now the wreck lies upright on a sandy plain, with serious damage to its bow and stern. The storm appears to have overwhelmed the engine, and a massive wave struck before lifeboats could be launched, sealing its fate.In this episode, Samir and Rus walk us through their historic dive — the first human dive on the wreck in over 120 years. We share video footage from the team, taking you deep into the thrill and discovery, the history that nearly vanished, and even the gear troubles they faced in 160-metre depths. Do you have feedback or an opinion to share with us?

Уколико људи намеравају да једног дана населе Марс, биће им потребни разни материјали које имамо на Земљи, а метали су свакако међу најзначајнијима. Пошто би транспорт великих количина гвожђа и легура коштао право богатство, научници са Универзитета Свинбурн и CSIRO трагају за начинима да створе метал од реголита који се у изобиљу налази у марсовској црвеној прашини.

As the world's largest biotech partnering event took place in Boston in June, MTPConnect was there introducing an Australian delegation to the Boston ecosystem, hosting business events to drive international collaborations and leading the Australian Pavilion to highlight Australia's fast-growing life sciences sector to the international biotech industry.Our CEO Stuart Dignam was on the ground to find out why people are making the trip to BIO and what the buzz is all about. In this episode, Stuart speaks to Brent Owens, co-founder of Ballarat-based Vitrafy Life Sciences – a company pioneering cryopreservation technology and Brent Barnes, CEO and Manager Director of Adelaide-based Clever Culture Systems - inventor of APAS Independence, an intelligent microbiology culture plate reading technology that is revolutionising pharmaceutical lab work. These Australian start-ups have established a foothold in the US and are looking to expand and navigate the new tariff regime. Stuart also catches up with Professor Chris Molloy from the UK's Medicines Discovery Catapult to get his take on BIO and find out more about the BIOBridge initiative and why collaboration is key to solving the world's health challenges. For the support and partnership, MTPConnect would like to thank the state governments of NSW, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia, and the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, Austrade, CSIRO and AusBiotech.And thanks for the industry support from Moderna, Novartis, Australia & New Zealand, Cytiva, Sanofi, Arrotex Pharmaceuticals and Nutromics, and support for MTPConnect's Australian delegation site visit program from CSL and Global Pharma Solutions.
