Federal election Arts Policy
Mon, 12 Nov 2007, 04:30 pmI have been commenting on Arts policy during the election campaign, with an emphasis on regional arts policy. Each of the following articles have direct links to policy statements from the major parties:
Regional Arts Policy: Labor’s funding to stimulate the arts in regional Australia - http://jmcdonald.org/opinion/?p=54 [comment on Labor's Arts policy statement on 10 November
Regional artists and performers abandoned by the Arts policy of the major parties - http://jmcdonald.org/opinion/?p=52 [comment on major parties' arts policy before I saw the Labor statement on 10 November]
The Arts: how high an election priority? - http://jmcdonald.org/opinion/?p=34 [original article on arts policy, 15 october]
See also: Politics and Theatre - http://jmcdonald.org/opinion/?p=44 [playwriting and political issues]

Well, with Peter Garrett
