On Q + A
9am Sundays on TV ONE
On Q+A this Sunday… National’s partial state assets sales are shaping to be one of the most contentious issues of this
year’s election. So sensitive, National refuses to debate them. ACT and Labour will, however. So live this Sunday with
Guyon Espiner, ACT leader Don Brash and Labour’s Finance Spokesman David Cunliffe debate the pros and cons of selling
shares in three power companies, a mining company and an airline. What do we stand to gain… and lose? Will we be better
off with the cash or the assets?
Then, John Minto is putting aside the placard and megaphone to stand for parliament on behalf of the Mana Party. Thirty
years on from the Springbok Tour that made him a polarising national figure, why has he chosen this election to seek
office? What does he stand for now? And what are his chances?
Finally, Mark Sedwill was NATO’s civilian boss in Afghanistan and is now Britain’s Special Representative on
Afghanistan/Pakistan. He’s in New Zealand next week to brief our government, but will speak to Paul Holmes via satellite
from London. With the fighting season in full swing and casualty rates in the past year at record highs, what’s the plan
from here? And what message will he be delivering to the New Zealand cabinet?
Joining Dr Jon Johansson on the panel will be CTU President Helen Kelly and former National Party President and PR
consultant Michelle Boag.
Q+A, 9-10am Sundays on TV ONE. Repeats at 9.10pm Sundays, 10.10am and 2.10pm Mondays on TVNZ 7
