ABC to axe Q&A after two decades
The ABC has axed TV panel show Q+A, ending the live program after almost two decades and hundreds of episodes.
The show, which put politicians, community leaders and corporate bosses in front of a live audience and their sometimes unpredictable questions on key issues, has been on a break since mid-May and will soon come to an end, according to a source with knowledge of the move, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
