| This week on Q+A… navigating a volatile world. With inflation continuing to climb, another rate rise to absorb and a global recession looming, is even more economic pain on the horizon for Australia? And as the gap between rich and poor grows starker and the rental crisis bites, are our laws and policy measures up to the challenges we face?
Joining the panel, former UK Supreme Court Justice Lord Jonathan Sumption – dubbed by some the “cleverest man in Britain” – to unpack what’s been a bruising week for the UK. The country’s near-financial collapse has left new PM Liz Truss vulnerable – but was the meltdown simply a result of her government’s policies or due to global instability? What lessons can Australia learn – particularly after the backflip by Truss on tax cuts for the rich? Will Labor be forced into a similar retreat?
Meanwhile the racism crisis engulfing Hawthorn Football Club continues to make headlines – with WorkSafe now looking into the club. Soccer is also facing its own scandal, with Football Australia looking into fans who adopted fascist symbols and gestures at the Australia Cup final. There are now calls to ban fans - is that the answer? What responsibility do clubs need to take for their supporters?
Joining Stan Grant on the panel:
Jonathan Sumption, Former Justice of the UK Supreme Court and author
Amanda Rishworth, Minister for Social Services
Mehreen Faruqi, Australian Greens Deputy Leader
Francis Awaritefe, Chair, Professional Footballers Australia
Alan Oster, Chief economist, National Australia Bank.
