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.
