On Monday night Q & A has another of its episodes with Prime Minister Julia Gillard taking questions from the studio audience.

As usual the show will also feature web and video questions from across Australia and the Asia Pacific region. You can submit web and video questions through the Q&A website

It will also be simulcast live at 9.35pm AEDT on ABC News 24, ABC News Radio and across the region on Australia Network.

Q & A Executive Producer Peter McEvoy says this is the first time Prime Minister Gillard has been on the show since the election campaign.

“The Gillard government has slumped in the polls since the carbon tax announcement. This is a critical time for the Prime Minister and an important opportunity for Australians to put their questions to Julia Gillard on not just climate change, but all the great challenges that face Australia.

“We are looking forward to a robust discussion, and encourage viewers to send in their questions.”

Twitter will be firing with this episode via #qanda.

It airs Monday, 14 March at 9.35pm on ABC1.

  1. Julia your going loose, try throwing the Liberal way of going bi with their ideas, pass their ideas in both houses. Then go to the people, next cycle and win or loose on the issue of trying to get a Census Government decision, we want honesty before and after election.
    The tail is waging the bitch ( female dog)?

  2. Yeah everyone do yourself a favour and don’t learn anything ever. Stay a close minded individual forever.

    How about you research previous panel members? I think you’ll find just last week there were 2 definite Liberal / right supporters (Joe and Janet). Not sure about Gail Kelly or Mike Carltons allegiances.

  3. Well, the Audience may not be stacked, but the panel usually is… with Lefties. It’ll jhust be Dillard trying to expain a Carbon Dioxide Tax and why it’s good for us all. Do yourselves a favour. Switch off.

  4. FJ have you ever watched Q&A? The audience is not stacked in anyone’s favour.

    They try their hardest to get a representation of both sides which is evident by the applause / cat calls / booing etc on various topics.

    I love when people scream ‘rigged’ just because it is not going their way.

  5. @FJ Dare say its the usual…. but i can handle that… as long as Catherine Deveney isnt on. then the show becomes instantly black banned in my house.

  8. Actually – John Howard was re-elected leader of the Liberal party in 1995, and pledged to “never, ever” introduce the GST. Howard led the Liberal-National Coalition to a large victory in the 1996 election.
    In 1998 Howard proposed a GST that would replace all sales taxes, as well as applying to all goods and services. In the 1998 electionThe Howard Government finished on a two party preferred vote of 49.02%.
    Howard described the election “win” as a “mandate for the GST”.

  10. @ScottH “there will never ever be a GST” (John Howard). “There are core promises and there are non-core promises” (John Howard). etc., etc.
    It’s a bit difficult to debate something when the details are not yet known (carbon price). Tony Abbott would ….? Malcolm Turnbull would …?

  11. More lies from Julia then???? I firmly believe that promises made during an election Must be carried out. You can promise any old crap in Australia just to get elected.

  12. @ Sal – I get the feeling the same talks are being held with the Liberal power brokers. Abbott will not be round until the next election IMO.

    I sound like a superfan because I have a decent vocabulary? Interesting.

  13. @ Goonies you sound pretty superfan-ny to me when you use words like infinitely.

    I agree with your point about her not expecting a minority goverernment. She should say that.

    We all need to remember that Jules is in the big chair because the NSW right say so. They are just sorting out amongst themselves who is next (Shorten or Combet). Strikes me that neither want the job at the moment.

  14. Oh let me guess, a whole hour of uninformed and narrow minded questions on carbon tax and immigration.

    Case in point: Julia the liar – she made a promise thinking that there would not be a minority govt, which there now is – so how hard is it to get that simple fact through your heads?

    I am no superfan don’t get me wrong but she is an infinitely better option than Abbott.

  16. @ Armchair Analyst.

    What I dont get is dont they run through potential political scenarios before making any annoucements.
    I mean before announcing the carbon tax, they should have had the price ready and rearing to go.

  17. Its deperation stakes for the Prime Minister. She clearly has gone down in the poles. When Kevin Rudd was PM the policies were good but poorly executed but since Julia became PM the governments policies have been bad. I wonder if she can give people a definitve answer whether this Carbon Tax will actually work, in theory maybe but this isnt theory this is the real world. The more likely effect of the carobon tax is big and small business passing the costs on to the rest of us and when that happens the economy is going to go backwards and probably close to a recession. The only possitive if you can call it that is that if the economy goes backwards then the Reserve Bank will not raise the interest rates in fact depending how bad the economy starts going they might even lower them.

  19. “with Prime Minister Julia Gillard taking questions from the studio audience”

    yeah but how many will she answer????

    and how will she handle ”There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead.”

  20. She’s looking more desperate by the day. When KRudd went on Q and A in front of an audience of young people in the old parliament it signalled the beginning of the end for him so what will this mean for Julia?
