2023 - 32: The Voice, Voting & Visions for Australia

This week on Q+A… a country in flux. The day when Australians vote on whether to enshrine an Indigenous Voice to Parliament in the constitution is fast approaching. And whether the referendum succeeds or fails, our nation will be a different place. Can the divisions that have emerged during this bruising debate be bridged?

Meanwhile, inflation has ticked up again this month. Will that force the hand of the Reserve Bank Board at its upcoming meeting? And Qantas is again in the spotlight, with chair and chief executive fronting a Senate inquiry into the Qatar Airways decision. Will Australians finally get the full story?

And a shock resignation from Victoria's long-serving premier, Daniel Andrews, has highlighted the pressures and all-consuming nature of public life. Do we ask too much of our leaders?
