In an increasingly fractured world – politically, economically and geographically – just what will it take to resolve some of the biggest issues facing us today?
| | | | This week on Q+A: Finding common ground. In an increasingly fractured world – politically, economically and geographically – just what will it take to resolve some of the biggest issues facing us today?
The federal government’s summit about jobs will be underway, so can differences be put aside to manage wages growth and attract workers where we need them most? The past few years have forced a rethink about the very nature of work. How can Australia make sure it is well placed to embrace new technologies, industries and new ways of working?
Meanwhile the secret ministries scandal isn’t going away, with the terms of reference announced for an inquiry into Scott Morrison’s multiple portfolios. Former Tourism Minister Fran Bailey has spoken out saying she forced him out of Tourism Australia because of a “complete lack of trust”. She also says he should quit parliament. Will the inquiry be a witch-hunt as the Coalition claims? Or can it prevent something similar from happening again?
And world-renowned author and philosopher A.C Grayling has been wrestling with some of our planet’s most urgent dilemmas in his latest book, For the Good of the World and will share his unique take on technology, climate and justice.
All this, plus news of the week, and a special live performance from Aussie music legends the Hoodoo Gurus.

A.C. Grayling, British philosopher and author
Katy Gallagher, Minister for Finance, Women and the Public Service
Stuart Robert, Shadow Assistant Treasurer and Shadow Minister for Financial Services
