Damian Coory is a crisis management expert who spent 20 years in Asia leading corporations such as Edelman Asia Pacific. He later rose to fame as a political commentator on his show The Other Side Australia and is now running for the lower house seat of Ryan, QLD in the 2022 Australian federal election.
Disillusioned with the Liberal party which has become decidedly illiberal in Damian’s view, he joined the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) because of what he describes as a rational and logical understanding of history, government and policy.
