description Q&A Overview

Q+A is an Australian live television discussion program broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation since 2008. Each episode places politicians, experts, advocates, artists, and other public figures before a studio audience whose members ask questions about politics, policy, culture, and current events. The format is intended to expose competing positions directly, with audience participation and live discussion distinguishing it from a conventional news interview.
