UK Armed Forces Minister joins Q+A

As the cost-of-living crisis bites, cash-strapped Australians are bracing for yet another interest rate hike after stronger-than-expected job figures. It comes as the government names its new Reserve Bank chief… Michele Bullock has some difficult waters to navigate – so how will she tackle Australia's economic woes?
The UK's Minister for Armed Forces is in Australia and joins the panel. AUKUS has been in the spotlight here, but with the Conservative government in Britain under pressure over high inflation, immigration and its merry-go-round of leaders, is it further down the UK's list of priorities?
Meanwhile, the Yes and No camps have laid out their arguments over the Voice to Parliament referendum, but with the nation seemingly divided over the issue, how can we possibly have the respectful debate that many are calling for?
And is it game over for big sporting events? Victoria's bombshell decision to dump the 2026 Commonwealth Games has drawn both scorn and praise, with Premier Dan Andrews saying it's now out of his state's price range. Amid claims that this will damage Victoria's reputation internationally, in the midst of a slowing economy just how much should taxpayers be expected to pay for elite sport competitions?

Beyond Skinwalker Ranch
Skinwalker Ranch is now widely considered to be ground zero for UAP activity and high strangeness. Since 2020, Dr. Travis Taylor along with Erik Bard and their investigative team have been working around the clock to collect, analyze and decode as much data as possible associated with the phenomenon occurring at the site. Their experiments have yielded amazing results, but not enough to fully unlock the secret of the ranch. So, for the first time ever they have decided to expand their search for answers. In an effort to gain a broader perspective and build larger data sets, the Skinwalker team is adding two team members and taking the offensive by pursuing evidence of similar phenomena found at analogous sites around the country. No longer content to sit, waiting to be targeted…it's time to go Beyond Skinwalker.
