THE OTHER SIDE - FULL Episode 511 - For weekend commencing Friday 17 April 2026
-- WAR HERO FREED - War hero Ben Roberts-Smith has been granted bail in a Sydney Court (Fri 17 Apr) after a Judge ruled there were exceptional circumstances in the case to justify it. In this week's show we examine the seismic social, cultural and defence implications of a case such as this. Judge Greg Grogin said “The fact that Mr Roberts-Smith would surely spend not weeks or months, but years and possible years and years in custody before a trial is reached. I find that exceptional circumstances have been found.”
-- FUEL PRICES TO STAY HIGH - The economic impact on Australia of the nation's unpreparedness and energy insecurity are huge and new data suggests we're in for rocky times ahead. And a leading US economist predicts global oil prices won't return to normal until at least next year.
-- EXCLUSIVE! - Damian interviews the Prime Minister. (Well, sort of...)

The Other Side sadly won't be a weekly show after late June 2026
After a short break we will return to produce some less regular and shorter content. We are embarking on fundraising work to see if we can raise the budget needed to resume a weekly show.
