Political uprisings and bloody conflict are reshaping the world and Australia’s place in it. On Q+A, a panel of big thinkers with deep connections to help you make sense of it.
The Middle East and Ukraine are locked in protracted wars. Indigenous New Caledonians are violently protesting France’s imposition of voting reforms. The US is a powder keg in an election year pitting an unpopular president against a populist plagued by legal challengers - and both vowing to crack down on migration. Record numbers of forcibly displaced people - not just from war but by environmental disasters and rapid climate change - have created a global refugee crisis. The wounds of colonialism - the loss of life, culture, history and sovereignty - remain painful for many. The cohesion of communities - in Australia, too - is fraying.

Q+A is a television discussion program that focuses mostly on politics but ranges across all of the big issues that set Australians thinking, talking and debating.
It is driven by interaction: Q+A provides a rare opportunity for Australian citizens to directly question and hold to account politicians and key opinion leaders in a national public forum and Q+A is broadcast live so that not only the studio audience but also the wider audience can get involved.
We aim to create a discussion that is constructive, that reflects a diverse range of views and that provides a safe environment where people can respectfully discuss their differences.
It’s impossible to represent every view on a single panel or in one audience but we’re committed to giving participants a fair go.
In order to be as inclusive and diverse as possible, the program is presented from a range of locations around the country and all Australians are encouraged to get involved through social media as well as by joining the audience.
This is an official Australian Broadcasting Corporation YouTube channel.
