If News Corp’s report is anything to go by, then Q&A is in hot water once again. The report suggests the show’s producers had not done adequate checks on the man before inviting him to be in the audience. On the other hand, how is this man’s criminal history related to the question he posed on the show on Monday night?

Another example of gutter trash journalism by the Corpse - deflect from the actual point (i.e.: low income earners and tax) and instead target those who dare provide any remotely negative view on an LNP policy.

I’d go on, but there’s a Federal Politics thread for that.

I haven’t been completely in touch with Q&A lately. have they done a generational warfare episode recently? The Feed did one last night and it was fantastic, but at only 30mins it was very crammed. With so many intergenerational issues in the headlines negative gearing, youth unemployment, climate change, debt, student loans, super policy. They should do one before the election.
