GPs, Gender Inequality and the Generation Gap
This week on Q+A… Jana Pittman joins the panel. A doctor, author and athlete who's competed at both the Winter and Summer Olympic Games, Jana's focus is now squarely on women's health and stopping the stigma.
It comes as the latest snapshot of Australia shows the cost of health and aged care will soar over the next 40 years. We are facing some big challenges, including four decades of a budget in the red – but the government has ruled out sweeping tax reform.
So where should we be spending and who is going to pay for it?
And cost-of-living pressures continue to be a thorn in the government's side. First-term MPs Gordon Reid and Aaron Violi are from different sides of politics and different parts of the country, yet have an unlikely friendship. What are their constituents calling for most urgently?
Joining Patricia Karvelas on the panel live in Sydney:
Jana Pittman, Olympian, Doctor & Author
Danielle Wood, CEO of the Grattan Institute
Gordon Reid, Labor Member for Robertson
Aaron Violi, Liberal Member for Casey
Jessie Stephens, Author & Editor at Mamamia
