Q+A on ABC – Got a burning question for our panel? Submit your questions via our website.
Monday’s toughest question was about the pre-selection of women in the Liberal Party, asked by Miranda Castles.
This week on Q+A we ask: who wins in the new economy
Rampant inflation may have peaked, but Australians still feel under the pump. Treasurer Jim Chalmers says cost of living is his top priority – “but it’s not our only concern”.
Painful interest rate hikes have slowed economic growth. Recession remains a possibility. Governments are mired in debt. Indefinite war in Europe and the Middle East is spooking markets. Technology is reshaping economies – and monopolising our money and attention.
On Monday, a panel of economic heavy-hitters break down the global economic landscape – and warn about the dangers of big tech becoming big brother.
Watch Q+A Monday at 9.35pm AEDT on ABC TV and ABC iview.
You can also have your voice heard via our online poll – vote from 2pm AEST Monday on Facebook, YouTube, X and Instagram.

Ed Husic is a key member of the government trying to deliver an economic “soft landing”. He’s also leading work on the breakneck development of artificial intelligence – and the serious regulatory challenges.

Yanis Varoufakis
Yanis Varoufakis has seen economic collapse up close as a former Greek finance minister. He’s a reform champion and doomsayer of ‘technofeudalism’ – how societies have become captured by ‘big tech’ overlords.
Stephanie Kelton
Stephanie Kelton has worked inside the US government as an economist. She’s a professor and best-selling author, arguing against the “flawed thinking” of modern monetary policy.
