On Q+A this week...

1. No parity parties this week, but analysts say it’s only a matter of time. How far can our ‘rock star’ economy go? Simon Dallow asks Paul Bloxham, HSBC chief economist for Australia and New Zealand.

2. Heather du Plessis-Allan interviews Charles Montgomery, author of Happy City, about whether urban design is the key to happiness. He says modern, sprawling, car-dependent cities are making us miserable.

3. And Europe correspondent, Jessica Mutch, visits Athens to meet a Greek New Zealander who’s been living under the country’s tough austerity measures for the past five years. Is there hope for the future?

Our panel: Simon Wilson, Megan Campbell.
