I didn’t think ABC News 24 carried Q&A anymore. Likewise the show isn’t broadcast live on ABC television outside of Sydney timezone.

Does ABC need to fix its pr templates??

It’s on the TV Fix guide for this coming Monday in Perth. Was it dropped at some point?

Is this the sort of social media content the Australian Broadcasting Corporation should be producing? Seriously.

I look forward to this, Veep is an excellent show. Good hear the Veep creators thoughts on the current political climate not only just in the US, but the dominoe affect it’s having on world wide.

Personally, I don’t think the opinions of the “Veep” creators (what?) on the current political climate in the US, has anything to do with what the Australian Broadcasting Corporation should be covering. Just my opinion, of course.

Have you ever submitted a question, attempted to get in the audience?

No, it’s not any longer a forum for sensible debate; any moderate voices are shouted down, hissed at. A pantomime.

I did once, on welfare, lol. Never got used. It was a “sensible” question.

I’m going to ignore this bate… however I will give you a spot on the following comment…

Hence why I don’t watch it weekly. I can take it on a monthly basis and still get quite annoyed. I think my main gripe with this show is that the questions are never getting answered properly. If they are - then Tony Jones comes in and takes the question and then spins it to himself and the question is derailed. Isn’t the point of the Q&A to be interactive with the audience, or is it be reactive to Tony Jones?

It’s how it appears to me, and it’s been like that. Got worse last year. However that being said, sometimes they do have a great panel which jell with the audience too and the questions are being actually answered. However i haven’t seen that in a long time.

For your future reference, it’s spelled “bait”.

Sorry, but me saying that social media content created by the ABC titled “How Donald Trump ruined Veep” is inappropriate, irrelevant nonsense, is not bait for anyone. It’s simply the truth. Don’t use terms if you don’t understand them.

Right.
Moving on. Did anyone watch this week’s Q&A?

Virginia Trioli hosting tonight.

It’d be nice if she took over hosting duties permanently; Tony is too biased to be taken seriously any more.
