10 August 2011

Education returns to People's Question Time

Education was the subject of Queensland's first-ever People's Question Time in March 2010, and it returns to centre stage on Friday August 12.

Premier Anna Bligh, Education Minister Cameron Dick and education experts will answer questions from a studio audience in a People's Question Time to be broadcast live on the web from noon to 1pm.

Journalist Lisa Backhouse will moderate the Education in Queensland People's Question Time session and select the most popular education questions to put to the panel. The Premier and panellists will see no questions before the session and the entire discussion is broadcast live and unedited.

Joining the Premier and Education Minister on the panel will be:

  • Professor Paul Mazerolle, Pro Vice Chancellor (Arts, Education and Law) and Director of the Violence Research and Prevention Program at Griffith University
  • Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, founding member of the National Centre Against Bullying and one of Australia's most respected psychologists on the issue of bullying
  • Mr Wade Haynes, executive principal at Brisbane State High School.

To submit questions to the panel or find out more visit the People's Question Time website.

The session is also open to the public who can attend as part of the studio audience at the State Library of Queensland in Brisbane.

The event is the eighth in a series of People's Question Time sessions which give Queenslanders a chance to submit questions online to the Premier and other panellists and watch them answered during the live Q&A panel discussion broadcast over the internet.
