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.

I agree that words are less

Wed, 23 Dec 2009, 07:49 am

I agree that words are less important than actions, which is why I've been wary so far but pleased on the move on resale royalties. However, I think it's unfair to say that asking for artists' opinions on policy is a new thing - the past government did that all the time, when the Aus Council for the Arts regularly asks for input on a variety of things, including what direction their theatre board should go. (That last one happened a few years ago I believe) I don't see anything wrong with asking artists what their needs are and how to better support us.
