Sadly, the not-so-intellectual panelists failed to listen; they kept shouting over him and each other and didn't even realise how ridiculous they made themselves appear. A point well picked up by one tweet that took it as a comment, four kids yelling over each other.It was good to see someone different on the panel-an intellectual.(Krauss). He was able to cut through the tit for tat political crap.
That's the saddest part of it. Australians deserve better politicians than the current self-serving mob.There has to be a better standard of debate and conversation somewhere and you will not find it from politicians and their handmaidens.
Politicians trying to drag the debate down to their level for political advantage like "two bald men fighting over a comb"
Tony Jones in his opening statement also blew the free speech defence that he and the ABC are so doggedly clinging to,Tim Wilson owned the ABC and Tony Jones in particular.
Jones continually interrupted his answers, including a snide comment which Wilson rightly called him out on.
On Monday night, host Tony Jones said the Q&A team was not aware of Mr Mallah's "very offensive misogynistic tweet that he put out about two female journalists".
"Had we known [about the tweets], we would have rejected his participation," Jones said.

Not a word of criticism from the anti Aunty mob about Mallah appearing on Channel 10's The Project the night after the Q&A show.
Kinda makes me wonder whether this is just another anti ABC vendetta rather than any attempt at a rational debate.

Actually, no they don't. That's why they have the politicians they do.

Here is what the ABC did wrong. They got this guy in for a pure "Gotcha" moment. Some dkhead planning the show thought it was a good idea to not only throw this in the governments face but to destroy this young man in the process. They set this up for fireworks and it blew up in their face. Oh but the ABC walk away and the guy they used well he didn't matter anyway.
So now it's the ABC's job to censor questions that might cause politicians to actually do some thinking in order to answer them ? It's a politician's job to be able to answer hard questions, not the easy ride that Bolt or Alan Jones give the Liberal pollies.
The question was relevant to a current issue. If Ciobo or any other panellist couldn't answer it, that's their problem, not the ABC's.
It's not the fault of the people - they have no choice in the matter.
When will we see Shorten on the Bolt Report?....He has had enough invitations....No guts..no glory....What a wimp.

Why use a guy with his background when it was obviously going to end badly for him. They knew exactly what they were setting up.
So now you are saying that the ABC set Mallah up, not Ciobo ? In which case Abbott and co should be congratulating the ABC !
I'd suggest that Shorten would consider appearing on the Bolt report would be a waste of his time, as people who take any notice of Bolt would never vote for him (Shorten), as your good self has more than adequately demonstrated.

Well, Shorten would not get a free reign on the Bolt Report like the biased Barry Cassidy Insiders circus.
Bolt would tie him (Shorten) up in knots.
I would also like to see Shorten on the Richo/Jones show on Tuesday night.....No doubt Shorten would fear Alan Jones as well.
No....
that he was used as gutter journalism fodder to point score against the government, on a taxpayer funded, supposedly impartial program.
