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...)

Former soldier Ben Roberts-Smith has been arrested at Sydney Airport and charged with five counts of the war crime of murder. The 47-year-old was taken into custody after arriving on a flight from Brisbane. - Бывший военнослужащий Бен Робертс-Смит задержан в аэропорту Сиднея и обвинён по пяти эпизодам военного преступления — убийства. 47-летний мужчина был взят под стражу после прибытия рейсом из Брисбена.
++NOTE - Rob refers to Jim Chalmers during the Salute and a Slap segment, when it is actually Richard Marles. Rob will give himself a good slap over that one! ********** Australian Survivor axed? | Ben Roberts-Smith media circus | Logies reform | Karl's salute and slap | ABC diversity spin Rob McKnight breaks down the week's biggest Australian media stories — including an exclusive on the future of Australian Survivor, the media coverage surrounding the arrest of Ben Roberts-Smith, a new nomination process for the Gold Logie, a measured look at Karl Stefanovic's interview highs and lows, and the real story behind the ABC's decision to end its diversity group partnerships. Australian Survivor's days may be numbered. As exclusively reported by TV Blackbox, Channel 10 has scrapped plans for a back-to-back two-season shoot, with only one season now going ahead. Rob reveals the axing of host Jonathan LaPaglia had less to do with salary than a long-running clash with Endemol Shine executive Amelia Fisk — and explains why all signs are pointing to the return of Australian Ninja Warrior as a replacement. The Ben Roberts-Smith arrest and the media circus around it. Critics were quick to condemn the camera crew at the airport — but as Rob explains, that footage came from the Office of the Special Investigator, not a news outlet. Rob also reflects on his McKnight Tonight interview with combat veteran Heston Russell, which had generated 56,000 views and over 1,100 comments at time of recording, and what the reaction tells us about public trust in the media. The ABC, diversity partnerships, and the misinformation spreading online. The ABC ended its paid memberships with Pride in Diversity, the Australian Disability Network, and the Diversity Council of Australia — but it is not abandoning diversity and inclusion programs. Rob cuts through the spin from both sides, including the Media Watch history that many viral videos are conveniently ignoring. Logies reform: a step in the right direction. TV Week can now put forward nominees for the Gold Logie and Hall of Fame — and Rob, a Logies judge himself, explains why this is a welcome change, and has some pointed advice for presenters submitting their reels. A Salute and a Slap for Karl Stefanovic. The Karl Stefanovic Show has changed Australian podcasting. The production values are high, the interviews are compelling, and Rob genuinely can't wait to see what comes next. But in the same breath — that Jim Chalmers interview on Today nearly had it all, until Karl tried to land a last-minute hit and move on without letting the Treasurer respond. Australian Survivor back-to-back shoot scrapped — and what's coming next The real reason Jonathan LaPaglia was axed from Survivor Ben Roberts-Smith arrest footage — who actually shot it? Heston Russell interview reaction: 56K views, 1,100+ comments ABC drops diversity group partnerships — what it actually means Gold Logie nomination reform — and advice for presenters Karl Stefanovic: salute and a slap BBC Eurovision 1977 — the director's cut you weren't supposed to hear
