I do agree that Q & A can sometimes be a bit biased to the left, I didn't see it last night at all. Goldie and Plibersek are obviously of the left, and Joyce and Cater are clearly of the right. Saleh and Martin weren't obvious at all though, and I wouldn't have any idea which way they vote. The audience was very balanced too, they showed the stats at the start of the show. Some of the Lib fanboys on here are so unbelievably extreme right that they think anyone to the right of them is a lefty.

Now how does the ABC know who is telling the truth?

They don't.

Do you?

DO You?

Short answer... no.

That's correct.

I haven't said, at any time, that the audience members were telling the truth (except for me, that is).

Glad to see you're paying attention.

I was watching Q&A the other night and they were talking about journalistic responsibility when reporting sensitive issues. This little inner city graffiti artist sticks his hand up and proceeds to tell the world that he just got his degree in journalism and he would absolutely do the Indonesian spying story if he had the chance. Barnaby Joyce replied- well if you had the chance to do a similar story on a person in your street would you do it. He replied- why not? Barnaby Joyce replied- well you might get your house firebombed!! Was that a stupid reply or not. Think about it.

Joyce clearly is out of his depth when attempting to respond off-the-cuff to questions. If you watch the show he was struggling nearly every time a question was directed to him.

He had a room full of lefties hanging on his every word , talking over him and mocking his replies. It's a wonder he did as well as he did. The 2 female do-gooders on either side of him were waffling idiots. The muslim must of punched a couple of cones before the show because he didn't make any sense.

Isn't it time the extreme loonies on this forum realised that just because people don't agree wiht the view of the world as told to them by Tony, Baranadi, etc, it does not mean that they aren't right-wing.

Centre-Right is the traditional right in this country. Hence it would be no surprises that the vast majority of the audience in Q&A would still give a crap about the environment, education, health, asylum seekers etc. Because, unlike the loony fringe represented by the matty's of this world, centre-right isn't that far off from centre-left.

I agree Joyce's replies were mocked - they deserved to be.
The muslim 'comedian' was a total waste of space, fortunately he didn't get much opportunity to speak.
Tanya seemed to talk a lot but say very little.
Not sure that Cassandra understood the questions.

The 'real debates' really came from Ray Martin and Nick Cater and their contributions made the show worth watching
