Monday's toughest question was about the pre-selection of women in the Liberal Party, asked by Miranda Castles. Scroll down to view.
This week on Q+A we ask: who wins in the new economy
Rampant inflation may have peaked, but Australians still feel under the pump. Treasurer Jim Chalmers says cost of living is his top priority - “but it’s not our only concern”.
Painful interest rate hikes have slowed economic growth. Recession remains a possibility. Governments are mired in debt. Indefinite war in Europe and the Middle East is spooking markets. Technology is reshaping economies - and monopolising our money and attention.
On Monday, a panel of economic heavy-hitters break down the global economic landscape - and warn about the dangers of big tech becoming big brother.
I can’t wait to hear your questions – and get you answers.

| Miranda Castles asked: “My question is for Liberal MP Keith Wolahan - can you explain the Liberal Party’s process for pre-selection in Dunkley? I don’t understand how the party can publicly announce a gender target at the last election, and then pre-select a man over two women?” | |
