Peter Garrett Online Forum

Federal Arts Minister Peter Garrett has launched an online forum to discuss Australia's Cultural Policy. In his speech to the National Press Club in October, the Minister identified three key themes for consideration:

1. Keeping culture strong; 2. Engaging the community; and 3. Powering the young.

These and other points are expanded on in the discussion framework, however this is not an exhaustive list. Use the web forum to talk about any cultural idea, issue or concern and help shape future policy.

The National Cultural Policy online forum will be open until 6pm Monday 1 February 2010. For more info, and to log onto the forum.

Hypocrites and Stupid Comments

Tue, 22 Dec 2009, 10:29 pm

Noel Christian

I am always happy to see a politician outed as a hypocrite, and no force of earth will stop our PM from making stupid remarks, but why do we need a forum to discuss cultural policy. Let's just make culture and the leave the policy out of it. Culture is what has happened, and is happening now, not what is proposed to happen.

The three categories remain satisfactorily empty of content. But please, could this government do some governing and give up on symbolic gestures, junkets to foreign chat-shops and ever escalating engagements with process.

Logos, I am running right beside you. Now, tell me where we are running to.
