Watch My Pick for Monday's Hard Question, a Q+A Classic Moment and a Run Down of the Panellists
This week we draw on the collective wisdom of some highly respected Australians.
How do their life experiences shape what they take away from this COVID-19 crisis? Where do they think our focus should be right now? How do they imagine our future? How should we tackle the big issues facing the country at this time?
Joining me on the panel:
Kerry O’Brien, Journalist and Author
Jillian Broadbent, Chancellor, University of Wollongong and leading businesswoman
Colin Barnett, Former Premier of WA and Adjunct Professor at UWA
Ray Minniecon, Pastor
Ronni Kahn, CEO and Founder, OzHarvest
Please submit a question via our website by 9am Monday for the chance to ask the panel.
Each week I'll be selecting my top question to highlight in the newsletter, along with a classic Q+A moment.
Scroll down to watch Monday's toughest question asked by Bella Mitchell-Sears from West Footscray, Victoria and my classic moment with Costa Georgiadis. 👇
Watch Q+A Monday 9.35pm on ABC TV, streamed live 9.35pm AEST on ABC iview or on our website.
Looking forward to hearing your questions.
