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.

Sad Walter

How sad it is that 'Walter' is so intimidated by us that he or she dare not make a point without hiding behind a fake name and a fake illiteracy.

Independent professionals are the only professionals that count. 

Incidentally, the theatre review in the latest issue of Quadrant is germane to this argument - it gives up on mainstream 'professional' theatre entirely and attends instead to a community theatre production in Hobart - which it loved.
