    This week on THE OTHER SIDE... (Ep 436 w/c Fri 28 November 2025)

    -- Small business is in crisis in Australia -- but Big Government and Big Corporate don't care.
    Two CEOs of small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) warn that If things don't change soon, the sector responsible for 97% of Australian non-government jobs will collapse.

    -- The Relentless 'War on Masculinity' - How much longer can Australian society survive the constant attacks on men and boys? Women and girls continue to be put first in every area of government and private business. What started as a 'correction' has turned into a disaster for young men - this is a conversation our country desperately needs to have and our guest David Maywald is leading the charge.

    -- Telstra's backflip on a terrible policy that would have seriously disadvantaged men is welcome news, but as Bettina Arndt explains, the giant telco has other issues it needs to fix.

    -- Damian's perspective on Pauline Hanson's burqa stunt, scary new laws in the increasingly authoritarian UK, the Green-left Labor government's rejection of calls for an inquiry into the ABC, and the unexpected bravery of one female ABC radio show host.

    This week on THE OTHER SIDE... (Ep 435 w/c Fri 21 November 2025)

    -- An Australian Government Inquiry pointed out many of the worst mistakes of Covid management by our state and federal governments. But have we learned our lessons and would we do things differently next time? Damian is joined by Professor Gigi Foster of UNSW School of Economics and Prof James Allan from the university of Qld Law School - neither of whom think our governments have really properly admitted their fault, and learned from their mistakes.

    -- Australia's two biggest states now have new state opposition leaders after a week of drama and turmoil for Australia's most embattled political party - the Liberals. Both new leaders are women from the progressive "moderate" side of the party and both hold inner-city seats in wealthy suburbs.
    Has the party really learned its lessons from its recent disastrous national polling?

    -- Australia's eSafety Commissioner has been asked to appear before a US Congressional Committee concerned she has become a zealot and threat to American free speech. Julie Inman Grant is a dual US-Australian citizen. Can she be compelled to appear?

    -- Big economic warnings from one of Australia's top bankers: we have too much red tape and we should be an energy superpower.

    -- And the future of The Other Side - why we probably won't be back in 2026.

    This week on THE OTHER SIDE... (Ep 434 w/c Fri 14 November 2025)

    -- Why NET ZERO is a waste of time for Australia and will actually have a negative economic and social impact if it's not dropped.
    -- Albo and Jimbo's BIG Housing FAIL - the 5% deposit for first homebuyer policy has done exactly what everyone warned it would do - caused massive sudden price increases across Australian capital cities. Our special panel of experts discuss why.
    -- The Reserve Bank's very strange view of Australia's economy and the role of business - a major Australian think tank SLAMS the RBA Deputy Governor's comments as "divorced from reality" - its leader explains why.
    -- And a millennial immigrant gives her views on the housing crisis, immigration, and how we take our freedom too much for granted in Australia.
