Maggie Beer: How to Celebrate Ageing | Q&A

This episode was broadcast on Monday, 7 October 2019.

"Role model for ageing well" Maggie Beer discusses how we can celebrate ageing to ensure the best quality of life in our final years.

Kate Radcliffe asked: Firstly, Maggie I’d like to say I want you to be you when I grow up. You represent a wonderful caring accomplished person in her senior years who is still doing what she loves, and you always take an interest in everyone you encounter which I admire. You are a recognisable role model for ageing well. Do you think we as a community need to make more of an effort to celebrate ageing so that we as a society allow them the best quality of life in their final years?

Q&A is a television discussion program that focuses mostly on politics but ranges across all of the big issues that set Australians thinking, talking and debating.

It is driven by interaction: Q&A provides a rare opportunity for Australian citizens to directly question and hold to account politicians and key opinion leaders in a national public forum and Q&A is broadcast live so that not only the studio audience but also the wider audience can get involved.

We aim to create a discussion that is constructive, that reflects a diverse range of views and that provides a safe environment where people can respectfully discuss their differences.

It’s impossible to represent every view on a single panel or in one audience but we’re committed to giving participants a fair go.

In order to be as inclusive and diverse as possible, the program is presented from a range of locations around the country and all Australians are encouraged to get involved through social media as well as by joining the audience.

This is an official Australian Broadcasting Corporation YouTube channel.
