Irony. After taking its name on the head days of internet cancellations, ABCs Q+A He finally tasted his own medicine. Not for the crime of expressing non -conformist views where panelists were followed, but there was no excitement in the transition to TV for the crime of being so compatible. He says sarcastic inside me. Emotionally – but less acute – I will miss a show that inspires the Australians to interact with politics and talk about politics.
17 years later, the ABC’s panel discussion shows that Q+A was bent.Credit: ABC
I’ve seen several times in the last few years Q+ATony Jones was then organized by Hamish Macdonald and Patricia Karvesas. All the landlords, like manufacturers, were inappropriate. I have a special soft spot for Lindsay Olney, a talented senior producer who exceeds my vision as a fire staff and convinces me that it may be good to continue. Also, Tony Jones, the host of the first show that I feel my nerves and is treated with kindness.
Finally, these were not these people who killed the ABC talk shows. The reaction to an opinion you don’t know was not curious, but the people with anger. The live tweet stream, which was even stroked to democratize the show, unfortunately encouraged the online mafia behavior around each episode.
It can be difficult to get. Politicians have learned to reject the invitations to participate in the demonstration, especially from politics. Initially, it became a trap that had the opportunity to include the audience in a discussion. A word that is on -site or simply misinterpreted will be armed by partisans and political opponents. When politicians appeared in later times, it was to provide contractual messages rather than spontaneous answers.

They would inevitably include threats and sexual interpretations of some unhanged Netizen. Producers admitted that conservative women were frequently willing, because the attacks on them were overweight than possible professional benefits. This makes me angry. Many clever women claimed that they advocated the strengthening of women by Zealots from politics. They harm the audience of ABC.

There was a similar dynamic around DrumAt the end of 2023, he stopped scanning. Many on the right criticized this show for similar reasons. Both of them Q+A And Drum Only a coin, which would be there to represent a wide range of ideas against the “left wings” panel, tended to invite the “right -wing”.
It had a meaning. This was strengthened on a single feeling Q+A By live studio viewers. The community view had always had to be chosen to reflect the spectrum, but those who applauded and booed always seemed to come from the left of the political spectrum. Still, personally, I liked the installation. I always challenge the world’s happiest and lazy thinking and intellectual orthodoxy. These shows, and even this strange strangeness were specially prepared for me.
This was my motivation to continue. However, the thoughtful feedback I received later showed me that it was worth for others. For many viewers, these ABC panel shows were the only exposure to have non -left ideas. People would write to me to tell me that they would appreciate what they had heard a perspective they had never thought of. A year later Drum He was taken out of the air, people would stop me on the street or come to me in the shops to tell me how sad they were because there was no scan. I am waiting Q+A It will be the same.
