This week on Q+A… beleaguered Qantas chief Alan Joyce’s abrupt departure hasn’t halted the turbulence for the flying kangaroo, with the airline’s board facing increased pressure over Joyce’s tarnished legacy and growing calls to return JobKeeper funds. Can new CEO Vanessa Hudson turn the airline’s fortunes around?
Meanwhile, the PM’s been stuck with the baggage of the storm and is facing a Senate inquiry over his government’s Qatar decision. Anthony Albanese has jetted out for a series of international talks and confirmed he’ll visit China in coming months, the first PM in seven years to make an official visit to the country after accepting President Xi’s invitation.
Here at home, outgoing Reserve Bank boss Philip Lowe has given borrowers an interest rate reprieve, but warns that there may be more hikes ahead to curb inflation. How will new RBA chief Michele Bullock approach the challenges ahead?
And as Australia prepares for a long, hot summer – how ready are we for what lies ahead?

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.

oh please – hello this is not a one sided issue.
What did i miss?
Is she wearing camo i cant see clearly cause im stoned like a hippy
Every week we get told how racist and sexist Australia is. Must be such a difficult way to live for the people who think like this.
Kylea saying stale peanuts and a free drink is the perk of being in the Chairman’s Lounge. Allah on a bicycle. Credibility now zero
Wow, a Minister of the Crown who thinks we have a democracy when it’s a constitutional monarchy.
That young girl views everything in a racial paradigm.
Dutton has not spread misinformation. Instead of being introduced as a youth advocate, a socialist activist would be more appropriate.
If we vote Yes for the referendum, would other races want a 'voice' as well? I.e. Chinese, Greeks, Malaysians, etc.
30k houses for $10bn = $333k per house, which is alright for build costs
You can fell the hate for white people on this panel
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story fire lady 🧑🚒…more of those volunteers left because they were forced out due to bodily autonomy and untested experimental death syrum
Who is the racist asian girl? So bigotted it even made an ABC host's eyes roll back. Casual bigotry is so last season ABC.
The problem with viewing everything in a racial paradigm is that you limit the conversation and competetiveness to just race. As an Indian in Australia, I do not want to be considered for a role that is my ethnicity specific (Indian diaspora engagement, Parammatta Counseller or the High Commissioner to India as the Young Advocate pointed out). This way you're limiting me and telling me I'm only good at this. Barry pointed it rightly that Australia has an Indian origin High Commissioner in NZ and that is what I call successful integration. Also an Indian person going back to India as HOM would be good at his/her job but there'll be less exchange of ideas and culture. A person like Barry can go to India and come back and tell others in his circle about the negatives and positives about India that goes beyond the traditional media narratives. Things are never perfect, yes there's lot of racism but there's racism everywhere including India. We need to acknowledge the advancements while hoping to improve further.
"they look like yourself" do you need to be racist to promote diversity?
As an immigrant, it is so annoying to listen to what the young asian lady was saying (did not catch her name). Seems like response to everything is "White people blah, diversity equality etc".
The fact that the panel genuinely thinks the referendum will end up a yes vote by saying they hope the australian people are decent is so out of touch.
Jasimine. Climate change climate change climate change, white man bad…… My globe trotting flights are too expensive. Couldnt she have come on the show via Zoom?
As a 30 year old single male i would be happy to volunteer for emergency services but im broke and can barely pay rent, i cant put my work hours to emergency work.
the fire fighter questioner should have been the whole panel – she should get her own qanda next week
They are giving trillions to AUKUS and pay the King and Commonwealth that money could also go into Dental Care into Medicare and build houses.
Make Australia nuclear free. People need to know and understand the waste that comes from the nuclear submarine program has to be produced and stored within Australia.
And that kind of hight level waste, we don't have a place to store that. Australians will be indeed directly affected.
AUKUS. We don't need to be Bound for the next 30 years to the US and UK foreign policy and decisions. Wake-Up Australia.
Seems to me a lot of male politicians are emotionally immature with oversized egos and some are nothing more than a bunch of political bludgers.
As one who has lived in social housing, the buildings are poor quality, made as cheaply as possible and will be crumbling in twenty to thirty years. There seems to be no long term view so that housing is well built and sustainable for generations to come. A bit if thinking outside the box when building them would be preferable.
Stacked deck as usual. ABC are so left that they can not see what is right.
Years because of nimyism to build a house? Sounds like the whole system needs to change. NIMBY means not In my backyard, so why are they able to say what can happen in OTHER PEOPLES backyard that they don't own?
$1300 a month is insane. $1300 per week is criminal.
