See who is on tonight's panel. Parliament is back for another year – but will it be politics as usual?
| | | | | | | Hello there, Tonight on Q+A, parliament is back for another year – but will it be politics as usual? Or can opposing sides find common ground to seriously tackle the issues facing the nation?
The PM is likely to come under pressure over the cost-of-living crisis and soaring inflation– so is the honeymoon over for Anthony Albanese? Some economists are tipping four interest rate rises by August. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has come under fire for a new essay in which he vowed to “remake capitalism,” drawing criticism that he is “hopelessly out of touch.” How can he achieve this lofty goal and what can the government do to help struggling households?
Anthony Albanese has staked his leadership on the success of the Voice referendum, but the Opposition Leader isn’t yet on board. Peter Dutton has accepted an invitation to meet with the Voice working group – could this help him decide on the party’s position?
Meanwhile, Labor is expected to allow thousands of temporary protection visa holders to stay permanently in Australia – but does this mean more people will seek refuge here? Kurdish-Iranian writer and refugee advocate Behrouz Boochani spent years languishing on Manus Island before settling in New Zealand – has anything really changed when it comes to Australian attitudes to asylum-seekers?
Joining Stan Grant on the panel live in Sydney:
Behrouz Boochani, Award-winning author and refugee advocate
Jacqui Munro, NSW Liberal Party Vice-President
Stephen Jones, Minister for Financial Services and Assistant Treasurer
Dan Tehan, Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship
Catherine Liddle, Chief Executive, SNAICC – National Voice for our Children
