| Who do you trust? Sports rorts. Dodgy election donations. Schools and churches implicit in child sex abuse. Banks charging fees to dead people. AFP charging journalists. And media we can no longer rely on.
Is it any wonder Australians have lost trust?
This week Q+A explores Trust - how we lost it, how we might regain it, and how to reinstate integrity and truth. The politicians are back this week and they’re promising to leave the talking points behind.
Joining Hamish Macdonald on the panel in Melbourne:
Paediatrician turned politician, Liberal MP for Higgins Katie Allen, who has experience in both one of the most and least trusted professions in Australia.
Independent Senator Jacqui Lambie, who prides herself on holding other politicians to account.
Shadow Minister for Innovation and Technology Clare O’Neil, who is calling for democratic reform to regain voter trust.
Former banking executive, company director and 2011 Australian of the Year Simon McKeon, who admits big business has a long way to go to win back public trust.
Jack Manning Bancroft, Founder of Indigenous mentoring program AIME, which supports underprivileged youth by building trust.
