As Prime Minister Anthony Albanese builds bridges overseas, much of the government’s legislative agenda is stalled in parliament and the Treasurer warns of stormy seas ahead.
On Q+A, Anthony Albanese’s high-stakes meeting with Xi Jinping to recalibrate relations with China – in the same week an Australian citizen is sent to prison with 44 other pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong. And as incoming US president Donald Trump names more loyalists to his cabinet, the delicate diplomatic mission to protect free trade.
Back home, the government is battling to pass a raft of reforms, from misinformation protections to social media bans and foreign student caps. While Australians say – in an exclusive new Q+A national poll – that inflation, interest rates and cost of living will drive how they vote in a federal election due within months.
Watch Q+A Monday at 9.35pm AEDT on ABC TV and ABC iview.
