Tickets to Q&A?? Don't mind if I do!

Was lucky enough to score an invite to Q&A through work. As luck has it, I am employed by the most diverse municipality in our fine nation, rich with workers from the manufacturing sector. As the backdrop for a show on "manufacturing and multiculturalism", it couldn't have been more appropriate.

We took off, rubbing hands with glee at the political minefield which awaited. I'm a nice girl, so shan't talk religion or politics, but it certainly was an interesting mix of folks in the crowd, some interesting questions - and a whole heap o' blatant agenda pushing.

I love a little spectator politicking, so it made for a very entertaining few hours. It was interesting to note the work that goes into ensuring it's a well oiled machine when cameras go live, and a simply mammoth production team. Was slightly saddened that nobody came equipped with projectile footwear though. To summarise: Tony Jones might be thinking woman's crumpet, but he's still no match for our Bwian!! Highly recommend it for an entertaining evening out if it comes to a venue near you

What's Q&A?

I know it's stands for Question and Answer, but how do you 'go' to it?
