List of Q+A panellists

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from List of Q+A panelists)

Q+A is an Australian television current affairs panel show, in which members of the Australian public question a panel of five public figures, usually including politicians, on a range of public interest topics. It is broadcast on two channels of the ABC Television network, and as of February 2024 hosted by journalist Patricia Karvelas.

Hosts and description

[edit]

Q+A was hosted by Stan Grant from 1 August 2022 until May 2023. Prior to 2020 the show was hosted by Tony Jones, then by journalist Hamish Macdonald until mid-2021, and then by a series of rotating hosts.[1]

The program focuses mainly on politics, but also covers a range of other issues. Questions are submitted to the panel by the studio audience or via video question from ordinary members of the Australian public, and the program is broadcast live. Part of the aim is to "hold to account politicians and key opinion leaders in a national public forum". Tweets containing commentary from viewers are shown on screen throughout the discussion. There are usually five panellists, most often including at least two politicians from different parties,[2] but occasionally there is a focus on something completely different, such as science,[3] or the special editions from the Garma Festival, with a panel to suit the content.[4]

Season 1: 2008

[edit]

This was the first season of the program, comprising 20 episodes. The most any one person appeared in this series was twice. The first episode featured Prime Minister Kevin Rudd as the only guest, and was announced as a one-off special. However, on episode 19, Q&A again featured just one panellist, the new leader of the Liberal Party Malcolm Turnbull, who had won a leadership ballot just 9 days before.

Season 3: 2010

[edit]

The third season of Q&A began on 8 February 2010, and will be a full season consisting of 40 episodes on the new night, Monday, on ABC1. Episode 1 was broadcast from Old Parliament House, Canberra, with an audience of 16- to 25-year-olds. Episode 4 was broadcast from the Adelaide Festival of Arts, and had a total of 6 panellists making it the largest panel in the program's history. The following episode also had 6 panellists.

Episode 9 featured Opposition Leader Tony Abbott as the only panellist. Episode 12 was a 'politician-free' episode, where no current or former politicians were on the panel. Also in episode 12, a Twitter feed was introduced, where selected tweets discussing Q&A are shown on screen. Episode 18 featured six panellists and was broadcast from Casula in south west Sydney. On episode 24, Tanya Plibersek became the first panellist to appear on Q&A more than twice in one season (only if you consider 2009's programmes to be two seasons – both Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey appeared four times in the full year of 2009 with five other panellists appeared three times that year).

Episode 27 and 28 each featured the two leaders alone on the panel, in the final two episodes before the election. Episode 29 was the first episode following the election, and was controversial in that at the last minute Julia Gillard pulled Mark Arbib from appearing on the panel, and an empty chair was left on the panel for the entire episode. Episode 30 was broadcast from the Melbourne Writers Festival.

Episode 37 featured former Prime Minister John Howard as the only panellist, co-inciding with the launch of his memoirs, Lazarus Rising. Episode 38 was the first time the program was broadcast from Western Australia in Perth.

Nick Minchin was originally supposed to be the Coalition panellist on the season finale, but bad weather prohibited his plane from landing in Sydney on time. Minchin was replaced on the panel by George Brandis.

Tonight, we can't stop talking about the weather – the Bureau of Meteorology wants to change its nickname, people's homes are under water, China is in drought, and the cost of living is going through the roof. Welcome to Q+A. Thank you. I'm Stan Grant. Also tonight, is it time to sort out flood insurance once and for all? And your questions just keep coming on those stage-three tax cuts – we'll get to those.

STAN GRANT (SPEAKS WIRADJURI) I want to pay my respects to the people of the Eora nation and the land of the Gadigal people. Tonight, you shouldn't talk about politics and religion, but we have both. Is faith finished? Have we lost our belief in God and politics? What do we turn to? And should faith groups back an Indigenous Voice?... And we ask – is there no end to the Trump circus?

STAN GRANT (SPEAKS WIRADJURI) I want to pay my respects to the Ladji Ladji and Barkinji people on whose land we're meeting here tonight. Well, we're live in Mildura in Victoria's north-west. 40 years ago, iconic singer John Williamson wrote Hey True Blue, so where is the Australian spirit today when regional towns like this struggle with not enough doctors, little mental health support, and fish keep dying in their rivers?... And what do local Aboriginal people here think about the Voice?
