Got a burning question for our panel? Submit your questions via our website. This week’s hard question was from Peter Carnegie, a single father who’s struggling with the cost of living crisis after the loss of his wife last year. It was dubbed “Liberation Day” in the United States. It was a pivotal moment for Australia and our election. Donald Trump’s trade tariffs have tanked stock markets and angered world leaders. Australian exports to the US face a 10 per cent tax. Tariffs levelled on some of our biggest trading partners are much higher. Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton are arguing who's best to stand up to Trump – and manage the seismic economic remifications. Yet it's everyday costs of living – housing, energy bills, healthcare, groceries – still occupying most Australian minds. Q+A journeys to Casula in Sydney’s outer south-west, a vibrant and diverse political battleground and epicentre for the biggest challenges facing the nation. Who do you trust to lead the country in an increasingly unstable world? Who has the solutions on transport, housing, health, education and Trump-proofing Australia’s fragile economy? What will make a difference to your life? I can't wait to hear your questions — and get your answers. Patricia Karvelas Watch Q+A Monday at 9.35pm AEST on ABC TV and ABC iview.
