Q&A puts punters, pollies and pundits together in the studio to thrash out the hot issues of the week.
It's about democracy in action - on Q&A the audience gets to ask the questions.
It doesn't matter who you are, or where you're from - everyone can have a go and take it up to our politicians and opinion makers.
Energetic and opinionated - Q&A brings Australia's egalitarian and larrikin spirit into the studio.
Q&A is about encouraging people to engage with politics and society.
Q&A is hosted by one of the ABC's most respected journalists - Tony Jones.
Q&A is live to air - it's happening as viewers watch.
