    I'm re-watching this programme in 2022 because Barry and Miriam are too delightful to resist.

      Interestingly I am re-watching in 2023 post the death of Barry Humphries. Dismayed, yet a little consoled by their true to form detractors of Barry Humphries, poking their wormy heads up to speak badly of an Australian icon. He was a brilliant mind and entertainer. Loving seeing and hearing my sista Miriam Margolyes’ input in qanda.

    As a person who just recently discovered Dame Edna, I say that Barry Humphries has one of the sharpest, wittiest minds that I have ever seen. He is remarkable at playing with the language and making it seem effortless to get a point across in double-entendre' very quickly. His vocabulary is vast and his book knowledge is remarkable. Quite a man.

    I love this Q&A because Barry was his real self nothing fake or put on just being his always humorous self, and I just love Miriam for always being her true self and just saying it how she sees it. My mother taught me to do that and she always said while people are thinking or saying bad things about you at least they are leaving some other bugger alone, but more importantly people know where they stand with you. But unfortunately we are still bad regarding sexual orientation, colour, race and creed.

David, the serious little insect he is. Miriam dropping anti-PC bombs on everything. Hewson is a most engaging and honest person. Jackie's got a lifetime of Aussie experience.

    Why am I not surprised that no one mentioned the wrongness of having 30% of our kids living below the poverty line while another Australian has so much money she's done nothing to deserve and carries on selling what I call the birthright of all Australians? How did it come about that such wealth in the ground can be grabbed by obnoxious greedy individuals like Reinhart and Palmer? Where was the government when this happened?

    • @roughhabit6496

    Barry is a tremendously talented individual but he is still what he is as a person. Jacki is lovely with a good heart. However I do not think there is a single individual on the panel or the audience who could speak for any Australian outside a very narrow band. Whether through talent, hard work or just plain luck, they have attained a position where none of them are ever likely to know what it is to struggle. They will never be hungry, homeless, be fearful for their jobs or any of the myriad of problems facing those less fortunate as themselves. This is an ABC production and the ABC like so much of bureaucracy is little more than a sheltered workshop for the inept yet politically correct. It takes many, many generations to build a culture and have someone from a another culture come here and deem themselves fit to lecture on what is Australia and what it should be is hypocritical, insulting and opportunistic. The best description of a politician.

      Linnyboy - Barry Humphries' mother apparently used to always judge people as 'common' if they weren't displaying enough 'class' for her prejudiced tastes. It is like calling someone 'average' or 'uninteresting'. Dame Edna often used the term in her put-downs of celebrities and others.

    If you have seen other episodes of Q&A you would see that your comment about left bias is wrong. John Hewson was unfortunately outshone by the other theatrical and journalistic panelists, but I thought when he did comment his comments were good or in agreement with the other panelists. You must have been watching a different version to the one I watched and enjoyed.

    • @hisheroship
      @hisheroship 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Pointing to one or two episodes that are sort of not quite fully left does not make the show not left. It is the most left show on the ABC, with the exception of the news, media watch, and just about everything else they have.
