Tonight’s Q & A will see the battle of the columnists, as conservative columnist Miranda Devine and outspoken writer / performer (and former TV critic) Catherine Deveny join the panel.
Also on the panel are:
Waleed Aly, politics lecturer;
Bill Shorten, Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Children’s Services; and
Peter Dutton, Shadow Minister for Health and Ageing.
Hosted by Tony Jones, it airs at 9:35pm tonight on ABC1.
I was really disapointed in last nights show….”one guest” was very annoying..and if you watched the show you will know who I mean!
Politically correct and left, Miranda said she was “on a hiding to nothing” and Catherine Deveny didn’t disappoint, showed how single minded the other side is.
The byplay between Peter Dutton and Bill Shorten bordered on the nasty as nasty as politics is.
Waleed Aly, “being white stands for privilege” Tell that to the many who aren’t.
An interesting and forgettable programme last night.
This could be terrible or really good. Too many people that think highly of themselves just tends to end up being awkward though.
I’m sorry and know its just my opinion, but I cannot believe Miranda is on Q and A. Ask her what her position is on real issues and you’ll find there are none. I’m a huge fan of Q and A, but expect serious guests with intelligence. Oh well, at least they are trying some balance, I get that, will be interesting to watch.

I thought there were more fundies on the Dawkins episodes than there were progressives :/
Finally!
A panel with more than one conservative!
However, its still a 4:2 skew in favour of the progressives.
