Q+A: ABC reportedly axing current affairs show after 17 seasons

The ABC’s current affairs program Q+A is reportedly set to be axed after 17 years on television.

The long-running panel show — which first aired in 2008 — was pulled by the National broadcaster despite its expected return to screens in August, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

Q+A had been on break since the end of May, with the show airing for 17 seasons.

Patricia Karvelas has hosted the current affairs show since 2023.

The decision comes in the same week that Network 10’s The Project was axed after 16 years on air.
