Q+A: Mar 11

This week Q+A is in Melbourne as it tackles Australia’s economic rebound, as it asks who is leaping ahead and who is falling behind?

In three weeks, JobKeeper payments will come to an end and the true state of our economy will be revealed. Will more businesses go under? Will more job losses eventuate?

We’ll also discuss the interview the world has been waiting for – Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The Duchess of Sussex has revealed when she was first pregnant with son Archie there were “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born”.

And we’ll look at our trade relationship with China, the vexed issue of agricultural exemptions for net zero targets, and whether it’s time to re-think our COVID border restrictions?

Joining Hamish on the panel:

Kristina Keneally, Shadow Home Affairs Minister
Fiona Simson, President, National Farmers Federation
Gareth Parker, Breakfast host, 6PR Perth
Kim Rubenstein, Legal scholar, ANU

8:30pm Thursday on ABC.
