The fourth series of the enlightening show will look at Domestic and Family Violence, African Australians, Intersex People, Carnies & Show People, Ex-Politicians, Alcoholics, Disaster Survivors and Deaf People.

Guests include fourth generation showman and operator of Australia’s last boxing tent, Fred Brophy; Bali bombings survivor, Erik de Haart; deaf-blind advocate and former WA Young Person of the Year, Ness Vladjkovic; domestic violence survivor and campaigner, Dr Ann O’Neill; reformed alcoholics, former St Kilda Football Club President, Rod Butterss and former NRL star Sione Faumuina; former South Sudanese refugee Ojulu Wan; and former federal politicians Amanda Vanstone, Cheryl Kernot, Sam Dastyari, Tony Windsor, Wyatt Roy and Greg Combet.

You Can’t Ask That is now one of the most successful ABC formats ever. Local versions of the award winning series have been produced in Spain, Israel, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Norway and Canada, with more planned.

Don’t miss the new series when it returns at 9pm on Wednesday 3rd April on ABC.
