This week Q+A will discuss Australia’s climate policy plus Indigenous recognition.
As more countries set ambitious targets to reduce emissions, Australia stands at a crossroads. After more than a decade of bickering on both sides of politics, is the country ready to put an end to its climate wars? And will the plan for a gas-led recovery ease the transition from coal to renewables?
This week China and the US agreed to work together on developing carbon capture, energy storage and hydrogen targets, a move which puts even more pressure on Australia to take action. Shadow Resources Minister Madeleine King has also thrown her support behind the coal industry, while calling for a mature debate about the issue. The Prime Minister has signalled he’s open to setting a net zero target by 2050. But how do you build a policy framework that can lead to the reduction of emissions, attract economic investment and keep energy costs down?
And with work gathering pace on the draft report into The Voice to Parliament, we’ll look at the battle for Indigenous recognition.
Joining Hamish on the panel:
Malcolm Turnbull, Former Prime Minister
Narelda Jacobs, Presenter, 10 News First and Studio 10
Keith Pitt, Minister for Resources, Water and Northern Australia
Sarah Hanson-Young, South Australian Greens Senator
Andrew Liveris, Former CEO, The Dow Chemical Company
Thursday 22 April at 8:30pm on ABC.

No wonder the ratings are taking a dive on Q&A, Turnbull and Sarah Hanson young, its going to be a throw dirt ( couldn’t say what I wanted to) on the current govt. These 2 are full of hot air.
Your objections to Q+A and much of ABC are well noted, but remember reiterating comments already made is discouraged. It would be great to hear about shows you enjoy too.
Oh great. Another panel talk-fest about climate change. I wonder how long it will take before this episode descends into an opportunity to attack the current Prime Minister. And I see the media darling of the left Malcolm Turnbull makes another appearance. Can someone place Malcolm in front of a wind turbine. He exudes so much hot air he could power up a small suburb.
