The Q+A election roadshow now heads to Melbourne, with a broadcast out of Berwick in the city’s south-east commuter corridor next Monday.

On the panel, a head-to-head battle on housing with minister Clare O’Neil and shadow Michael Sukkar. Stay tuned for other panellists.

Wow, it's been an evening of intense discussion about some of our country's most pressing problems.

Patricia Karvelas finishes the program by asking youth advocate Angelica Ojinnaka-Psillakis what she can see going right in the midst of all this.

"There is a lot that is hopeful. I am constantly inspired by the young people who are continuing to step out and be bold and create new ideas and are excited.

"If you talk to young people on the ground and you hear the things that they envision for their communities, it is what gives me hope. And it makes me quite happy."

Labor's Jenny McAllister says: 

"Our view is that we are a country with enormous potential. We have skillful people and we have got a lot of things that are really importantin a world that is decarbonising. 

"We have got land, stable investment, environment, we have lots of wind and sunshine, and lots of opportunities to produce things in ways that the world will want."

Greens' Max Chandler-Mather says:

"We have a huge opportunity around critical minerals, not just digging them up but processing them here. It is bizarre that we are rich with copper and lithium and iron ore but we're not manufacturing solar panels and batteries here. 

"Why are we exporting them into Australia when we could build them here? Transitioning away from fossil fuels, the perfect opportunity is to become a wealthy country that exports to the world the new technologies we need for the 21st century. That is theopportunity we have."

Our last audience question comes from Stephen Chaplin:

"The government wants us to buy Australian. Can I buy an Australian car or get on an Australian made train or Metro, buy an Australian microwave or a jug or a toaster? Should I only buy from Coles and Woolworths (whom you accuse of price gouging) and not buy from Aldi who are cheaper?

 "What Australian manufactured things can I support?"

"We have announced we do it for a year and see how it goes," Andrew Bragg says.

"We are trying to resolve a massive cost of living crisis. The housing crisis and the energy crisis. 

"We think this fuel excise is something that would hit the ground immediately, and if it works for a year, and it is affordable, and there is still significant issues in the community that require us to support, then we would like to extend it. It will be reviewed."

Questioner Adam Osman slipped off his jacket to reveal his Libertarian Party T-shirt. It's not just Clive Palmer's Trumpet of Patriots that are campaigning in bright yellow!

The Libertarians are standing for the Senate around the country - including former Liberal and Palmer MP Craig Kelly who's running for the party in NSW.

Audience member Adam Osman puts another question to the Coalition's Andrew Bragg:

Why is Dutton only promising to halve the fuel excise for 12 months instead of getting rid of it entirely?

Coalition's Andrew Bragg blames the Labor goverment for leaving young people worse off.

"It is hard for young people when you are going into a first job and if you have a large HECS debt, you have to pay 12% super, house prices as they are, it is very hard. 

"The pay as you go tax system for many people is taking a large amount of their income. We are having an election about cost of living because petrol prices, grocery prices, house prices, rents and energy costs are through theroof. 

"The Labor Government have driven, in large part, the housing and energy crisis, so that is why this election is about those issues. This election is not about the longer term structural issues because people are hurting right now. 

"It might be nice for academics to pontificate about the broader issues. People are trying to pay their housing costs and energy bills at the moment and these are disastrous for so many Australians because of the Labor Government's mismanagement."

Leading research economist John Daley says young people are paying more tax on their super than older, wealthier Australians.

He says we need to rebalance our tax system so that young people with very few assets pay less tax and older people with many more assets pay more tax.
