The nine-year political attack on the arts and entertainment sector can end. It can end this weekend.
I want to talk about a better future for the arts.
In each case it was a whole of government exercise. Because anyone who understands the sector knows arts isn’t simply about entertainment, leisure and hobbies. At its best it affects our education policy, our health policy, our trade, our relations around the world, our industrial relations approach and is a driver of economic growth.
