Q+A 2023 Finale: Coming Together
This week… the final Q+A of the year. It's been a tumultuous and at times difficult year for many, and we'll be unpacking the highs and lows of 2023. Cost-of-living pressures, climate and conflicts around the world have been a focus for us all this year – what will the next 12 months hold?
The referendum on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament seems to have laid bare a schism in our community, while the "nicer" politics we'd been promised after last year's federal election hasn't exactly been realised. As the divisions in society become starker, can we come together again? Or is our social cohesion damaged beyond repair?
The Matildas' history-making World Cup run lifted the nation's spirits, but the high was short-lived as a series of savage rate rises hit families hard. Amid warnings of persistently stubborn inflation, is the worst yet to come?
So, what's changed for you this year? How is Australia different from this time a year ago? And what's next for 2024?
And we finish with a special performance from singer-songwriter Anthony Callea.

Storage Wars
Storage Wars follows professional buyers and their teams as they scour repossessed storage units in search of hidden treasure. Part gamblers, part detectives, these auction pros have found everything from coffins to the world's most valuable comic book collection, paying as little as ten dollars for items valued in the millions.
Each episode of Storage Wars follows a group of bidders as they get a quick peek inside the units, aided only by the beam of a flashlight. They then must assess on the spot if the unit is worth a bid and how high they will actually go to grasp the gold. The high-stakes fun begins as we see if the resulting buy is full of mostly trash... or true treasure.
Revival
Revival is set on one miraculous day in rural Wisconsin when the recently deceased suddenly rise from their graves. But this is no zombie story as the "revived" appear and act just like they once were. When local Officer and single mother Dana Cypress is unexpectedly thrown into the center of a brutal murder mystery of her own, she's left to make sense of the chaos amidst a town gripped by fear and confusion where everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect.
