Monday's toughest question was asked by Tabitha, the mother of a murdered DV and is calling for legal reform to address failures of the judicial system. Scroll down to view.
This week on Q+A... COVID disrupted the office and accelerated the transition to hybrid working. Full-time remote working is a reality for some, but there’s a tension in some corporates who want staff back in the office at least a few days a week.
For many Australians, WFH isn’t an option, entrenching social and economic divides between those who can and those who can’t. How will technological advances and the rise of artificial intelligence further exacerbate those differences?
What are Australia’s labour advantages – and vulnerabilities – as an unstable world threatens international supply chains? And is the federal government’s new ‘made in Australia’ pitch, promising billions of dollars to rebuild manufacturing capacity, smart economics or extravagant protectionism?
I can’t wait to hear your questions – and get you answers.
