This week on Q+A… a country in flux.
| | | | | | | Hello there, This week on Q+A… a country in flux. The day when Australians vote on whether to enshrine an Indigenous Voice to Parliament in the constitution is fast approaching. And whether the referendum succeeds or fails, our nation will be a different place. Can the divisions that have emerged during this bruising debate be bridged?
Meanwhile, inflation has ticked up again this month. Will that force the hand of the Reserve Bank Board at its upcoming meeting? And Qantas is again in the spotlight, with chair and chief executive fronting a Senate inquiry into the Qatar Airways decision. Will Australians finally get the full story?
And a shock resignation from Victoria’s long-serving premier, Daniel Andrews, has highlighted the pressures and all-consuming nature of public life. Do we ask too much of our leaders?
Q+A is live from Melbourne Tonight, Monday October 2 at 9.35pm AEDT.
Joining Patricia Karvelas on the panel live in Melbourne:
Malarndirri McCarthy, Assistant Minister for Indigenous Australians & Indigenous Health
Dan Tehan, Shadow Minister for Immigration & Citizenship
Noel Pearson, Founder of Cape York Institute
Pia Miranda, Author & Actor
Final panellist TBC
If you would like to submit a question for consideration, please submit one via our website for the chance to ask the panel.
Each week, Q+A selects our top question to highlight in the newsletter. Scroll down to watch Monday's toughest question asked by Melbourne resident Mote Dambo, who spoke about Victorian COVID-19 lockdowns and asked the panel about the Government’s COVID-19 inquiry.
Watch Q+A Monday at 9.35pm AEDT on ABC TV or ABC iview.
Looking forward to hearing your questions. |
