Here are the questions our panel faced this week. Tell us what your answer would be or what you think our panellists need to say.
ROSIE CONNOLLY asked: Growing up, I was always told that as a woman I could do anything. However,
oil painting supplies, does the sex scandal at the ADFA and the way it has been dealt with within the defence force indicate that there are some environments in which equal access and opportunity for women is impossible?

RUDD – DISCUSSING THE PAST
MICHAEL CHEN asked: Government ministers spent much of last week trying to deflect the uproar from Mr Rudd's comments on last week's Q&A. Every minister declined to be drawn on discussing "the past". Given the number of changes and back-flips to key government policies over the last 12 months, how can the government continue to expect, or hope for the trust of the Australian public if it fails to address concerns about how key decisions were changed and communicated and ultimately, questions about what the government stands for?

RUDD / ETS / WONG
RALPH PANEBIANCO asked: Ms. Wong, last week Kevin Rudd expressed regret over the shelving of the ETS. Given your obvious passion for this issue,
oil painting supplies, and how hard you worked to make the ETS a reality, do you carry the same regret as Mr. Rudd? Would you have done anything differently?

INDIGENOUS INTERVENTION
EMMA BEARD asked: A question for Bess Price: as someone who rarely leaves the city, it can be very hard to understand if the intervention was the right thing to do. From your perspective what is the single most important thing that needs to happen in order to improve life in remote communities?

INDIGENOUS INTERVENTION
PHILIP GRAETZ asked via Web: In 2009 UN Human Rights rapporteur... said the NT intervention, however well intentioned, is "incompatible with Australia's [treaty] obligations": that's diplomat speak for "we are racist". Why has he been ignored?

MEDICAL RESEARCH
MEDICAL STUDENTS from Strathfield,
oil painting supplies, NSW asked via video: To the Honourable Penny Wong - As students about to commence medical research we find it unimaginable that a government that is “moving forward”
would want to cut $100m a year from the NHandMRC. The NHandMRC provides funding to medical research for Australia’s growing medical needs
It currently funds 27% of applicants although 70% warrant funding. What price are you willing to pay not to lose another Dr Elizabeth Blackburn?
What do you think?
GAMBLING CAMPAIGN
BRETT HARTLEY-WILSON asked: In light of last year's ads by the mining lobby and now the campaign by clubs Australia - what speaks the loudest to the Australian People; good government policy or good corporate advertising?
What do you think?
CLIMATE – WHY TAX?
KARLY ABRAHAMS asked: I am a scientist who is not part of any political group, but I think I represent a growing portion of the average scientific community. When you include carbon dioxide emissions from the oceans and from animal respirations, burning of fossil fuels accounts for a total of four per cent of global emissions. That’s according to the latest IPCC report and Australians make up one per cent of that. So, overall that means we release 0.04 per cent of all carbon dioxide emissions. If this is the case, where is the evidence that spending billions of dollars on a carbon tax will make any significant difference to the environment? And why isn’t the Australian public being allowed to vote on this important issue?
