Q + A – 2 October 2011
September 30th, 2011 at 9:51 pm by Kokila PatelWith the world economy in a dangerous phase according to the IMF and New Zealand hit by a double downgrade just weeks before an election, Finance Minister Bill English is live with Guyon Espiner on whether the government is doing enough to protect our economy.
Then, two of New Zealand’s most respected minds, Sir Paul Callaghan and Gareth Morgan on what the government should do to weather the storm and offering advice to viewers on what we can do.
Finally, two political giants bid farewell to parliament. Sir Roger Douglas and Jim Anderton – the debate between them represents the political faultline of a generation. They talk to Paul Holmes in one last political debate.
On the panel, Claire Robinson and former party presidents Mike Williams and Michelle Boag.
Q+A, 9-10am Sundays on TV ONE. Repeats at 9.10pm Sundays, 9:05am and 1:05pm Mondays on TVNZ 7

Would be great if Douglas and Anderton got to actually debate. But no doubt Paul Holmes will still his oar in and trip it up and wash it over a with relativistic commentary.

Gareth Morgan is a left winger for whom it has been a long time since he didn’t see an issue that required more government spending to fix/alter/mend/make worse. No respect from this quarter.

Its a pity Q&A in NZ is nowhere near as good, as informative or as entertaining as Q&A in Australia…

English looked rattled when interviewed by Espiner. Clearly he was out of his depth.
