Q+A from Garma
This week Q+A is heading to North-East Arnhem Land for a special episode from the Garma Festival, Australia's largest Indigenous cultural gathering. Australia is at a pivotal moment in its history, as the nation decides together whether Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will be recognised within the Constitution and heard through a Voice to Parliament.
The festival's theme this year is "djambatj", meaning a perfect moment in time when the balance of the world is in order. It's a vision that organisers say was embodied by Garma's former chairman Yunupingu, who will be honoured and remembered at this year's event.
After a bruising week in parliament and with polls showing that the referendum is facing a challenge to succeed, the PM is facing a battle ahead as polling day approaches. Festival chair Djawa Yunupingu says now is a moment in time that offers the promise of a new world. "One way or another, the nation will change," he says. What will Australia look like after the crucial vote?
Presented by guest host Dan Bourchier, Q+A will speak to Indigenous leaders and discuss issues facing their community and will feature a music performance by King Stingray.
Joining Dan Bourchier at Garma:
Malarndirri McCarthy, Assistant Minister for Indigenous Australians & Indigenous Health
Marcia Langton, Professor of Australian Indigenous Studies
Merrki Ganambarr-Stubbs, Yolŋu Elder and Co-principal of Yirrkala Community School

Who are these women and what drives them to kill? Oxygen's hit true crime series, Snapped, profiles fascinating cases of women accused of murder. Did they really do it? And if they did, why?

From socialites to secretaries, female killers share one thing in common: at some point, they all snapped. Each episode of Snapped chronicles the life of a woman who has been charged with murder.
