Faith, Politics and Humanity
This week on Q+A… Australian politics is changing – and a new generation is making its mark.
Recent election results at a state and federal level show that nothing can be taken for granted, so what do some of the nation's young powerbrokers make of what's happened? And how do they want to use their voices to make change?
As the referendum grows nearer, the Liberal Party has confirmed it will campaign against the Voice to Parliament – with backbenchers allowed a conscience vote on the issue. Peter Dutton says the party supports Constitutional recognition for Indigenous Australians – but without support for the Voice, will the Liberals find themselves on the wrong side of history?
Across the country, political convictions seem increasingly to be guided by personal ethics – so where does the role of religion fit? Does faith fit with politics, or should they be separate?
And finally some relief for mortgage holders before the Easter break, with the Reserve Bank keeping rates on hold for the first time in a year. But is this just a temporary reprieve? And will it have any meaningful impact on those struggling to pay the bills?

The Studio
As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their own insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic artists and craven corporate overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films. With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting, and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe. As someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes movies, it's the job Matt's been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him.
