Q & A: Apr 23

Next week Q & A host Tony Jones will sit down with outgoing leader of the Australian Greens, Bob Brown, as the show’s sole guest.

Viewers at home and the live studio audience will have the opportunity to have their questions answered directly by the retiring Senator – on his accomplishments, his regrets and the legacy he’s left for his party and the nation.

After almost 40 years working within the environmental movement and Australian politics, many are wondering whether the Greens will continue to rise without him.

Having played a critical role in Julia Gillard’s minority government, the party now faces new challenges including adjustment to a new leader and the ongoing criticism from the controversial carbon tax.
