The major parties are making their priorities clear – so how will they sell their policies, their party or even themselves?
| | | | This week on Q+A, we look at the big political sell. The major parties are making their priorities clear – so how will they sell their policies, their party or even themselves? The Government is promising a robust economic recovery with some immediate relief for households while the Opposition is campaigning on living standards and services with a focus on aged care.
The federal election will be called any day now and the latest Newspoll shows a drop in the primary vote for Labor but they remain ahead of the Coalition. Which policies will get your vote next month and why?
The Prime Minister continues to come under personal attack from his own side of politics. Scott Morrison has rejected an accusation of racism levelled at him by a former party rival describing them as “deeply offensive”. How damaging have these latest allegations been?
Meanwhile Australia has signed a new free trade deal with India after more than a decade of negotiating. Sheep farmers and wine makers are the big winners but dairy farmers have been excluded from the current deal. How important is this new agreement and what does it mean for Australia’s trade relationship with China?
And the latest instalment of the landmark report on climate by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has been released this week and climate scientists warn it’s “now or never” to act on slowing global warming. Do you feel the major parties are doing enough to reduce emissions? And what will the pace of change mean for those communities reliant on coal-fired power?
All this, plus the news of the week – join us for an important discussion.

Samantha Maiden, National political editor
