This Thursday 4 February, Q+A kicks off with a panel of eminent Australians joining host Hamish Macdonald live from Sydney. They’ll debate some of the current issues likely to shape the year ahead.
What now for Australia with a new Biden presidency? Will we feel the reverberations of lingering Trumpism here? How has the Australia Day debate impacted race relations and will the vaccine brawls erupting in Europe disrupt the Australian roll-out? Plus a chance to hear directly from our new Australian of the Year who’s pledged to dismantle the system of grooming used by sexual predators.
The show will close with a live performance from didgeridoo player and musical director William Barton.
Joining Hamish on the panel:
Grace Tame, Australian of the Year
Alexander Downer, Former Liberal Foreign Affairs Minister
Warren Mundine, Chairman of the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation
Shane Fitzsimmons, Former NSW RFS Commissioner
Tanya Hosch, Social inclusion advocate
