Q+A on ABC and ABC iview S17E16 is in Dandenong – Got a burning question for our panel? Submit your questions via our website.

Monday’s toughest conversation was on Donald Trump’s bid for a White House return, with former Liberal cabinet minister George Brandis saying he understands Trump’s appeal to the “anti-left” but believes he remains a “danger” to the West.

Q+A is back on the road and we’re headed to Dandenong, a vibrant cross-section of Australia in Melbourne’s outer south-east.

The working-class area has been hit hard by cost-of-living and mortgage stress. It’s one of the most culturally diverse areas in the country, amid bitter debate in Canberra on Gazan refugees and warnings from the Prime Minister of deteriorating social cohesion.

Our panel of political players, community representatives and commentators will debate the economy, corporate profits, immigration, multiculturalism and the issues that matter most to locals.

Watch Q+A Monday at 9.35pm AEST on ABC TV and ABC iview.
