The Project and Q+A get the boot; Challenges women face in media; and Greg Hywood's thoughts on Nine

11 June 2025 Two long-running television shows, ABC's Q+A and Ten's The Project, have officially been axed at their respective networks. Q+A is being replaced by documentaries, while The Project is being replaced by an investigative news and current affairs program. We discuss what these major changes mean for Australian TV. Meanwhile, a new Women in Media Industry Insight report has uncovered the key workplace issues women are facing in the media sector. Should we be surprised by the findings? Last week, former Fairfax CEO Greg Hywood announced he would be departing media by stepping down as chair of Free TV. Hal spoke with him about the move — and learned what the long-time media expert really thinks of Nine. Join Hal Crawford, Tim Burrowes, Lauren McNamara and Abe Udy for a look at everything under Australia’s media and marketing umbrella.
