It would be heartwarming watching Q&A unite both sides of politics, save for the fact such unity is only to denounce unpopular opinions.

One week, the small "l" liberal left are fizzing about Fred Nile being part of a panel on queer issues, the next week it's the big "l" Liberal right vapouring about a Muslim radical saying it's understandable his bros would wanna join ISIS.

You don't have to agree with either man to see how oceanically silly it is to get upset about other people's opinions on a TV show designed to encourage them to express those opinions.

Then again, I get the feeling both sides of politics would like to see Q&A stocked with polite minorities, accommodating women and a couple of ageing comedians who all agree with each other.
