Q&A no longer live on ABC News 24
Q & A will no longer be live on ABC News 24, due to Lateline on News 24.

From next week Q & A will no longer be live on ABC News 24, due to Lateline now airing at 9:30pm on News 24.
ABC will now offer a live screening via iview.
That’s probably going to disappoint some viewers outside the AEDT (and AEST) timezones who enjoyed participating in the Live Twitter debates as part of the show.
It will also impact on numbers, with around 100,000 viewers who were watching on News 24 rather than the ABC primary channel.
Next week to commemorate 40 years of International Women’s Day, the ABC’s political writer and host of Kitchen Cabinet Annabel Crabb will host the show.
Joining her will be:
Foreign Minister, Julie Bishop
Feminist icon, Germaine Greer
Author and self-described “Bad” feminist, Roxane Gay
CEO Best & Less, Holly Kramer
Engineer and youth advocate, Yassmin Abdel-Magied
This special edition is being made in collaboration with the Sydney Opera House’s All About Women festival.
9:35pm Monday on ABC and iview.

Not happy in WA either. Have regularly watched it on ABCnèws at 6.30 here in WA.
Of course what’s silly here, is that while watching it on iView, you can’t do other second-screen interactions which Q&A is all about. Really silly decision.
I usually watch the next day on iView….before I read your article DK…my 1st thoughts were …the only people who are going to be peeved are the twits…errr twitter folk…
Let’s not forget the ABC News Radio option. All of the words live without any affect on download limits.
This is baffling. Four channels and they still stuff it up.
Do us a favour and get rid of the dreadful Q&A completely!
The Labor Party and the Greens can fund their own advertising.
If you watched it you would know that that statement is very uninformed.
It would be very interesting to see a Q&A run by someone right of centre.
Not happy Jan!!! being in WA, you can get Q&A in at 6.30 on News 24 and not have to stay up late till 10.30 watch it.
Iview + android + chromecast means it’s pretty much business as usual. Picture quality won’t be as good though.
unfortunately Bogues, I work remote and the internet doesn’t support streaming – browsing at best!!
