What was so annoying about Q & Q was that the panels always consisted of people not representing the real everyday world. A program such as Q & A should be held in areas of relevance not have academic ignoramuses dribble verbal diarrhoea from within their comfort zone of a studio surrounded by their ilk.
For example, the bushfire crisis, Q & A type programmes should be held in a town directly affected, with a panel consisting of a bureaucrat & greenie who opposed back burning, a bureaucrat who is dragging their heels in matters compensation, the ATO commissioner, a representative of those opposing National Service, a member of a family who lost everything, a home owner who lost everything because the home was built among trees, an insurance officer & a fre fighter who was in the thick of it not some commissioner who watched it all from his air conditioned office. And, most importantly, don't have a one hour programme, make it at least three hours !

Sorry mate, I'll only let them off, when someone convinces them that Arctic & Antarctic both have a C in them, & they stop using ladies with those dreadful high squeaky voices. Surely equal opportunity still means choosing one of the fairer sex with a reasonably modulated voice.

Yes Hasbeen but they put the whisperer on on weekends !

Hasbeen,
Would that make the disoriented refugees from the Orient ?
Imagine how disorientated they must be !

while i don't always watch all topics, i think insight on SBS does make a reasonable attempt to bring in different people, say experts and those affected.

what do you think?

a politics show that does that would be great. Even Insiders suffers from supposed elite experts.

Chris Lewis,
Insight has actually improved lately, fewer inexperienced academic experts & more of the real affected people on the show.
The compare still gets taken for rides every time there's some indigenous issue but in general it's way above Q & A ever was.
