Calling It Out

Q+A is back for 2021 in its new timeslot as host Hamish Macdonald moderates a debate on some of the current issues likely to shape the year ahead.

What now for Australia with a new Biden presidency? Will we feel the reverberations of lingering Trumpism here? How has the Australia Day debate impacted race relations and will the vaccine brawls erupting in Europe disrupt the Australian roll-out? Plus a chance to hear directly from our new Australian of the Year who's pledged to dismantle the system of grooming used by sexual predators.

The show will close with a live performance from didgeridoo player and musical director William Barton.

Guests:

Grace Tame, Australian of the Year

Alexander Downer, Former Liberal Foreign Affairs Minister

Warren Mundine, Chairman of the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation

Shane Fitzsimmons, Former NSW RFS Commissioner

The Price is Right

The Price is Right, originally hosted by Bob Barker until 2007 and Drew Carey thereafter -- features a wide variety of games and contests with the same basic challenge: Guess the prices of everyday (or not-quite-everyday) retail items. Four contestants, all of whom are seated in one of the wildest audiences in daytime game-show history, are called to the stage to play a preliminary pricing round. That winner joins the host on stage for one of more than 70 different pricing games. After three such games, the contestants spin a big wheel -- hoping to get as close to $1 as possible -- in the "Showcase Showdown". The two highest winners of that round advance to the final, where prizes could be cars or roomsful of furniture. A trio of models presents the prizes.
