Q+A: Aug 28

Next week on Q+A…

Jana Pittman joins the panel. A doctor, author and athlete who’s competed at both the Winter and Summer Olympic Games, Jana’s focus is now squarely on women’s health and stopping the stigma.

It comes as the latest snapshot of Australia shows the cost of health and aged care will soar over the next 40 years. We are facing some big challenges, including four decades of a budget in the red – but the government has ruled out sweeping tax reform.

So where should we be spending and who is going to pay for it?

And cost-of-living pressures continue to be a thorn in the government’s side. First-term MPs Gordon Reid and Aaron Violi are from different sides of politics and different parts of the country, yet have an unlikely friendship. What are their constituents calling for most urgently?

Panellists:
Olympian, Doctor & Author Jana Pittman,
CEO of the Grattan Institute Danielle Wood,
Labor Member for Robertson Gordon Reid,
Liberal Member for Casey Aaron Violi
Author & Editor at Mamamia Jessie Stephens.

Live from Sydney on Monday, August 28 at 9.35pm on ABC.
