the episode was that bad. The usual LWNJs that watch Q&A wrote in to complain that even that episode, went even more full LWNJ * mode than usual.

Wrong year thread I know, but how's the form of Jim Molan - "I'm not relying on evidence!"

I’ll take it that you didn’t agree with what she believes in and so you decided have a melt.

Wow Richard colbeck just another useless senator
MacDonald is very poor compared to Tony Jones.
Its more about Coal companies and getting the Libs in power than farmers
Be interested to hear a bit more about this.
The couple of episodes I have watched in the McDonald era, I have enjoyed a lot more than I used to. It has felt more like a facilitated discussion and less like an exercise in political pointscoring. More experts, less politicians, less loaded questions, less Tweets. They have however been ‘special episodes’ on the coronavirus and the economy so maybe that is the difference.
McDonald has seemed fine though. Tony Jones always rubbed me up the wrong way a bit. Too big a personality and ego for my liking.
McDonald is fine - so far he seems to recognize that it’s not about him.
The way to avoid the political point scoring is to have fewer politicians on the panel. Take this episode:
Our Energy Future - Q+A
Panellists: Matt Canavan, Queensland Nationals Senator; Zali Steggall, Independent MP for Warringah; Joel Fitzgibbon, Shadow Minister for Agriculture and Resources; Zoe Whitton, Citi ESG analyst and Investor Group on Climate Change; and Sophia Hamblin Wang, sustainability entrepreneur.

Having Canavan and Fitzgibbon there is a waste of time. Steggall too. It’s ensuring that there will be conflict and no progress or interesting discussion.
Canavan and Fitzgibbon are both batting on the same team their only points of difference are on the edges while Steggall comes across as the rational one until we get to her edges.McDonald is fine - so far he seems to recognize that it’s not about him.

So many issues to cover, yet the good ol' ABC gets excited about the BLM being dissed.
McCormack was underwhelming but the media is just talking BLM. McCormack blundered but it was a master deflection by him.
Even a lot us us left leaning are a bit meh about BLM. after it was a thing in the US they 'discovered' some black lives here to be offended by.

Yeah, very hard to argue with what you've said. Tony Jones was more "old school" went hard at politicians and "experts" so I know where you're coming from. The young fella on there now has a more evn demeanour but still manages to extract information. I hope that if Q&A gets a bit more boisterous so to speak nearing election time that plitical forces don't do a hatchet job on it because it becomes just to uncomfortable. We need this type of thing I reckon.

Steggall has 2 more years then will be gone. No matter how much limelight she gets.
She has slayed the dragon just like Maxine McKew before her then the crowd forget and revert to type

The electorate is rich moderates. The Libs just need one of those as their candidate and they win. Abbott refused to listen and got punished.
Jones to me seemed more balanced and also better at challenging people. I haven't actually watched it in months, not because of McDonald just forgotten about it a bit for a while. It's always been a very hit and miss show, just something that you record and for every crap or ordinary episode there will also be one well worth watching.
Why are right wing spokesmen so unpersonable? Who votes for such people ‘more edges than broken glass’ we used to say.

Anyhow, have a Winfield 25.

They didn't get to where they are through talent or hard work. Their ninja-skills are confined to backstabbing and repaying favours to people that helped them backstab.
This is completely true of both parties. You get this right?
I just cant get my head around so called 'quiet people' voting for trump types are anything but
