Q & A: August 19

Next week Tony Jones will host the Q & A National Economic Debate live from the Riverside Theatre in Parramatta.

Treasurer Chris Bowen and Shadow Treasurer Joe Hockey will go head to head on one of the biggest issues of this Federal Election – Australia’s economy.

With Western Sydney set to be a crucial battleground in the 7 September poll, Q&A is also offering local residents a chance to put their questions directly to the politicians.
