Q+A with treasurer Jim Chalmers

This week on Q+A ... a make or break budget?
Six days after delivering his make-or-break budget, Jim Chalmers faces his own constituents in a special Q+A from Logan on Monday night. Live from the Logan Entertainment Centre on Brisbane’s southern fringes, in the heart of his working-class electorate, the Treasurer joins Patricia Karvelas and hundreds of locals to hear directly how the budget impacts them.
Amid a cost-of-living crisis and global economic turmoil - and with an election due within a year - what does Logan make of their Treasurer’s economic management.

Q+A is a television discussion program that focuses mostly on politics but ranges across all of the big issues that set Australians thinking, talking and debating.
It is driven by interaction: Q+A provides a rare opportunity for Australian citizens to directly question and hold to account politicians and key opinion leaders in a national public forum and Q+A is broadcast live so that not only the studio audience but also the wider audience can get involved.
We aim to create a discussion that is constructive, that reflects a diverse range of views and that provides a safe environment where people can respectfully discuss their differences.
It’s impossible to represent every view on a single panel or in one audience but we’re committed to giving participants a fair go.
In order to be as inclusive and diverse as possible, the program is presented from a range of locations around the country and all Australians are encouraged to get involved through social media as well as by joining the audience.
This is an official Australian Broadcasting Corporation UA-cam channel.
