Q&A Performance Reviews

Last night's Q&A is again getting lot's of press this morning, it's again proving intellectual discussion is far more interesting that bogans in a Glasshouse or the next big popstar (or maybe someone who sells around 1,200 albums in their first week and then fades, fades away very quickly and suddenly, like the record label never actually heard of them) yes Clive Palmer turned it up last night!

So here is my David & Margaret star rating for each panelist last night:

Heather Ridout - A woman who spoke truths, backed it up with facts and spoke extremely well. Yes she was compassionate like me and actually cared about the youth of this nation so I give her a glowing 4 stars.

John Falzon - Like Heather spoke truths about the recent (doomed) budget and Joe Hockey's constant incompetence and also looked at the reality of society with these strong measures. 4 Stars.

Warren Truss - Deputy Prime Minister and pull the Liberal line. Clearly out classed, under prepared and out classed by fellow panelists. It's not that I am not willing to listen to Liberal points of view it's just they never make sense and can never be backed up with hard facts (unless from the 1950's) and to be honest he looked as though he couldn't give a shit. He has a driver, a large super waiting for him, so what's the point sit it out and hope the uneducated continue to vote for tired old slogans like Stop the Boats. 1 Star.

Penny Wong - Flawless as always, she admits Labor made mistakes (and my god have they ever with refugees, if you didn't try to be popular you would have allowed people in and process people efficiently saving millions of dollars and keeping people out of dreadful detention centres) but she also backs up here arguments and engages in the questioner and answers the question. Both Truss and Palmer lacked question answering last night. Wong is a superstar, a role model to women, gays and people in general. She is a fantastic public speaker and has great confidence and someone who I would love to be a potential leader of what could be an amazing nation. 4.5 Stars

Clive Palmer - It's like he had Lambie do a quick survey around Harris Street pre show and asked people what they wanted to hear Clive say tonight and then he rolled it out like a theatresports performance. Palmer has made headlines this morning with an attack on the Chinese Government and could help QA as a show continue to grow viewers and audience involvement. It's been a year for Q&A this year, in studio protest against Pyne, controversial panelists and now Palmer. As much as I wanted to believe he is here for the good of the country I think he says a lot that he know will be popular in the headlining grabbing general public. 2 Stars.
