Hello there, This week on Q+A… art meets politics, with a special live performance from iconic singer-songwriter Tina Arena.
For many creatives, the personal is very much political… how do artists use their platforms to make change? And what more could the government do to ensure gig workers are supported?
Job insecurity is a reality for many Australians, so do the proposed industrial relations reforms go far enough? What will it mean for regional businesses who rely on seasonal workers?
The Prime Minister is spruiking Labor’s economic credentials at the party’s national conference, but could a possible recession put a dent in his hopes for a second term?
Meanwhile, there’s no solution in sight to the housing stalemate. What will Labor do to get its legislation over the line?
Q+A is live from Melbourne tonight, Monday August 21 at 9.35pm AEST.
Joining Patricia Karvelas on the panel:
Tony Burke, Minister for the Arts, Employment & Workplace Relations
Sam Birrell, Nationals Member for Nicholls
Zoe Daniel, Independent Member for Goldstein
Hannah Diviney, Author, Disability Advocate and Actress
George Gittoes, Artist and Filmmaker
And Iconic Singer-Songwriter Tina Arena closing the show with a special live performance.
