Q+A: Nov 18

Topics tonight include the ongoing fight against social media capture and gambling advertising.

Q+A is broadcasting from Melbourne tonight.

Donald Trump is not a psychopath, according to Jon Ronson. But he’s probably a narcissist.

“The outward manifestation of psychopathy and narcissism is quite similar but it feels like there’s a volcano of emotions going on underneath Trump’s surface,” the British journalist says, author of the bestselling The Psychopath Test who embedded deeply in the world of Trump during his first run for office.

On Q+A, Ronson explains what that volcano of emotion might mean for the United States and the world. And how fringe conspiracists, and the social media platforms Australia is now trying to regulate, changed politics forever – amid fevered speculation that a federal election may be just around the corner.

Plus the treacherous diplomatic path for Anthony Albanese and Kevin Rudd on the US, China and regional trade; the ongoing fight against social media capture and gambling advertising; and does the Liberal Party still have a women problem?

Panellists:
British journalist, author & filmmaker Jon Ronson,
Independent MP for Goldstein Zoe Daniel,
Centre for Public Christianity senior fellow & anti-gambling advocate Tim Costello,
Broadcaster, advocate & Hilma’s Network founder Charlotte Mortlock
Columnist & Quillette Editor-in-Chief Claire Lehmann

9:35pm Monday on ABC.

  1. David,
    I see enough of Q And A each week to know that the host does not wear the same wardrobe each week.

    When I saw the show promo last night, the yellow dress on the host looked familiar.
    Upon checking the photo above, it is the exact same garment.

    Given the show is live, was this photo:

    a) Specifically created for last night’s show – where ABC promotions got the host to wear what she was going to wear the following Monday
    (Maybe they do a full dress rehearsal complete with prop pencil?)
    Or
    b) A random photo which you selected, which strictly by coincidence ended up being a perfect match.
