The ABC has got itself a bit of a scoop on Q&A this Thursday night.
Yesterday it announced its guest line-up for this week’s debate on “The Economy” would include Wayne Swan and Julie Bishop.
By the end of the day Bishop was no longer in the portfolio.
As a result ABC now has the first head-to-head tussle between Wayne Swan and Joe Hockey, the new Shadow Treasurer, live on air.
They will be joined by National Secretary of the Australian Workers’ Union, Paul Howes; Greens Deputy Leader, Christine Milne; and Kate Carnell, the Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Food and Grocery Council.
Hosted by Tony Jones, Q&A includes questions from a studio audience and home viewers via abc.net.au/qanda
The show has really hit the ground running with no filler. A great coup for the show getting the first probing of Stocky-hocky in his new troff, I meen portfolio. He is definetely a good performer and will test Swan to breaking point I am sure. No doubt the next pm could be from that awfull, flurescent Sunrise family. What the hell does he meen by mash-up all the time?
This is looking like a great line up for this week. Should be an interesting night indeed.
That’s a great line-up of guests. Obviously the stimulus package will be talked about. It will certainly be an interesting debate.
Now that is genuinely appointment television. Can’t wait.
Should be interesting … Q&A is a good little show and definitely a refreshing change on television.
