Q+A is a television discussion program that focuses mostly on politics but ranges across all of the big issues that set Australians thinking, talking and debating.
It is driven by interaction: Q+A provides a rare opportunity for Australian citizens to directly question and hold to account politicians and key opinion leaders in a national public forum and Q+A is broadcast live so that not only the studio audience but also the wider audience can get involved.
We aim to create a discussion that is constructive, that reflects a diverse range of views and that provides a safe environment where people can respectfully discuss their differences.
It’s impossible to represent every view on a single panel or in one audience but we’re committed to giving participants a fair go.
In order to be as inclusive and diverse as possible, the program is presented from a range of locations around the country and all Australians are encouraged to get involved through social media as well as by joining the audience.
This is an official Australian Broadcasting Corporation YouTube channel.

Our mental health system has been broken for years. Under staffed and under funded. Stop talking about and do something about it now
Mental health rise is a result of the bad food we have from food industry now.
"Mental health" is a weak excuse used by pathetic people who can't deal with life. As Malcolm Fraser once said – Life was not meant to be easy.
Everything is…Chemists, Vets, Alcohol, Petrol, dental work, not to mention that bulk billing is disappearing and being replaced by private practices (but we still pay for Medicare as well) After all,It is our responsibility to fund the genocide in Gaza, and fund the war machinery in Ukraine..
Mental health petrol cost of living and every thing else like food crisis is going to get far worst in 2025 as everybody and paying for mortages and rent and to survive in the world. Will be getting more expensive. From Léna & Brétt Harrison.
