We're delighted to announce that Stan Grant, one of the ABC's most accomplished journalists and presenters, is taking over as solo host of #QandA. We thank @latrioli and @David_Speers for their work in shaping the program over the past year. https://t.co/aVx4X1nGhY
This one is special .. a huge effort by so many ABC people across rural and regional Australia, radio and @abcnews capital city, current affairs and production teams. Very proud of all of them.
BREAKING @DanielMOakes will not be prosecuted over @abc730 Afghan story. It’s 763 days since Dan was told he was a “suspect.” ABC did not back down - the story has remained online. But Dan & @sclark_melbs (also no charges) should not have endured this. Media law reform is vital.
No charges to be pursued over an accurate story told in the Australian public's interest. After police raids, endless inquiries, serious personal pressure on our journalists, commonsense prevails. It took three years. It's time to fix the laws.
Tonight, #QandA is discussing the 2020 US Presidential elections with Kim Hoggard, Barbara Heineback, @ColeTDBrown, @JohnRuddick2, and @C4KylieM. Tune-in at 9.35pm AEST on @ABCTV and iview
#Breaking: two Australian journalists - ABC’s Bill Birtles & AFR’s Michael Smith - rushed out of China. They had to shelter in Aus diplomatic compounds after police wanted to interview them. Fortunately they have just landed safely in Sydney but relations deteriorating rapidly.
Special follow shout out mention for all you #auspol lovers. My producer on #afternoonbriefing@jadecclarke is excellent and is also producing some of the great political guests on #qanda I’m soooooo looking forward to watching tonight’s youth show
.@jonathanvswan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the U.S. is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.”
@realdonaldtrump: “You can’t do that.”
Swan: “Why can’t I do that?”
Next week, @shaunmicallef, @boneybrooke, @cpyne and @terrimbutler will join Hamish on the #QandA panel. Submit your video question via the website: https://t.co/Ho4FHpzK74
The majority of sexual harassment is experienced within the workplace - what needs to change to ensure young women are protected from ‘powerful predators’? #QandA
Farewell to our Senior Producer @LindsayOlney who leaves his indelible mark on #qanda having been with the program since the beginning. Go well Lindsay. You’ll be missed.
