Q+A is a New Zealand current event and political talkshow. It is currently hosted by Greg Boyed who is covering for Susan Wood, while she is recovering from a head injury. Interviews are conducted by Corin Dann. The show airs live from the TVNZ Centre on Sundays from 9 to 10am on TV ONE, and screened later that day from 9:10pm to 10:00pm on TVNZ 7 (prior to the closure of that channel in 2012).

Q+A premiered on the 22 March 2009 as a replacement for Agenda. Following the death of Holmes' mother, Mark Sainsbury filled-in for one week.
Greg Boyed took over as presenter after Paul Holmes faced health issues at the end of 2012. Sir Paul Holmes died on February 1 2013.

The programme starts off every week with a "week that was" style run-through of the main political events that week. The presenter will then introduce the panel (usually made up of Arseneau and a political observer and a former politician) Following that Dann will conduct an interview with a politician (either in the studio or on location) and the presenter will lead the panel through a discussion about the responses the interviewee gave. After an ad break the presenter will conduct a more relaxed interview with a former politician or political observer, with the presenter again leading the panel through discussing what will be the big stories in the week ahead finishing the show.
