In a world drowning in woke narratives and bureaucratic overreach, The Other Side with Damian Coorey delivers a much-needed dose of clarity and courage. If you’re not laughing at the state of our nation, you’re probably crying. This week’s episode (422, aired 15 August 2025) pulls no punches, exposing the shaky foundations of climate change dogma, the ideological drift of a once-beloved charity and the relentless fight for free speech in Australia. With Coorey’s razor-sharp wit and unapologetic commitment to truth, the show tackles issues that the mainstream media conveniently sidesteps, offering Australians a perspective that cuts through the noise.
The episode kicks off with a bombshell: Coory tackles the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) and their jaw-dropping proposal to boost productivity by slashing work to a four-day week. You heard that right—less work for the same pay, as if that’s the magic bullet for our economic woes. Coory skewers this with razor-sharp wit, pointing out the bleeding obvious: cutting hours by 20% while expecting a productivity miracle is like expecting a transgender unicorn to solve world hunger. The ACTU’s plan, backed by left-wing academics, ignores basic economics—productivity drives wages, not wishful thinking. With inflation biting and real wages stagnant, Coory rightly calls this a fantasy divorced from reality, driven by a Labor government so far left it’s lost sight of common sense. He urges employers and workers to negotiate their own contracts, free from union meddling, and it’s hard to argue with that.
Next, Coory dives into the Albanese government’s decision to recognise a Palestinian state at the UN next month. It’s a move that’s as baffling as it is dangerous, rewarding Hamas’s October 7, 2023, atrocities with diplomatic legitimacy. Coory highlights the absurdity: the Palestinian Authority, led by Mahmoud Abbas, hasn’t held elections in two decades, yet we’re betting on their promises of peace. Meanwhile, Hamas, who won Gaza’s last election in 2006, still enjoys 43% support among Gazans, with 50% of Palestinians backing the October 7 attacks. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s scathing response, echoed by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, calls this what it is: a symbolic gesture for domestic politics, not peace. Coory’s take is spot-on—terrorism shouldn’t pay, and Australia’s naivety is a global embarrassment.
On climate, Coory interviews Dr Keston Green, whose peer-reviewed study exposes the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) models as unscientific bunk. Green’s research shows these models, underpinning net-zero policies, produce errors up to 22°C, while solar activity predicts temperatures far more accurately. The IPCC’s obsession with CO2 over natural factors like solar radiation is, as Coory puts it, a costly dogma fleecing taxpayers for the benefit of a few. Green’s findings, suppressed by mainstream journals, are a wake-up call: our kids are being scared witless by flawed science, and our energy bills are soaring for nothing.
Finally, Coory and guests Bettina Arndt and Reuben Kirkham tackle the erosion of free speech and men’s health advocacy. Arndt exposes Movember’s drift from prostate cancer research (now just 7% of its $1.1 billion budget) to woke projects pushing anti-male ideology, like “healthy masculinities.” Kirkham, from the Free Speech Union of Australia, celebrates a legal win against the eSafety Commissioner, whose “eKaren” antics were slapped down by the Administrative Review Tribunal for dodging accountability. The Giggle vs Tickle case, involving a trans woman suing a women-only app, underscores the chilling threat of compelled speech. Coory warns that forcing Australians to use preferred pronouns risks a dystopian future where truth is silenced.
This episode is a clarion call for Aussies to reject the woke tide and stand for reason. Coory’s incisive commentary, paired with his guests’ expertise, makes The Other Side essential viewing.
