THE OTHER SIDE with DAMIAN COORY - Unplugged Ep 007 - The TERRIBLE Aussie Treatment of Canadian Protester "Billboard Chris"

Unplugged Ep 007 - The TERRIBLE Aussie Treatment of Canadian Protester "Billboard Chris"

04/22/25 • 35 min

THE OTHER SIDE with DAMIAN COORY

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE OTHER SIDE - UNPLUGGED

Released: Tue 22 Apr 2025 from an interview recorded on 25 March as part of the on-line Telethon for the Human Rights Law Alliance hrla.org.au
Authorities in Brisbane, Australia fined well-known Canadian pro-child-safety campaigner "Billboard Chris" and ordered him to cease a peaceful small protest in the 2032 Olympic City's main street late last month.

Chris Elston was in Australia to fight a case against the country's online censorship agency, the eSafety Commission, which had previously censored him over an innocuous tweet.

Many critics, in Australia and abroad, say the Commission is operating way beyond what is acceptable in a western liberal democracy that claims to adhere to basic principles of free speech.

THIS FORTNIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE...

  • Is Australia so left wing now that even with massive debt, high levels of government waste and inefficiency, and the sheer silliness of a lot of Greens policy, that centre-right politicians STILL can't get elected? Recent polls and surveys would suggest we are living in a left-wing madhouse. IS there ANY hope?
  • Today Show host Sara Abo brutally attacks Peter Dutton for winding back his Work From Home plans. Dutton doesn't hit back. We try to understand why.
  • The Liberal Party dis-endorses a candidate for daring to have fairly mainstream views on women in military combat. Dutton backs the move. We try to understand why.
  • Trump's Tariffs - we shut up and listen to try to understand what the people who are actually designing the plan are trying to achieve.

Ep 407 of The Other Side for the fortnight commencing Friday April 11, 2025.
