  • Just so good to hear intelligent discourse about the arts instead of the dumbed-down waffle we've been subjected to for so many years now.

  • @artssouthaustraliastaffmember, this question was already asked at the beginning of the Q&A.

  • I do hope that this 'cultural policy' will include the voices of artists and the cultural diversity across the country.

  • Can you please ask Pippa Bailey's question?
    Arts South Australia Staff Member Arts South Australia Staff Member Fri 12th Nov, 12:14pm
  • @Minister Burke, that is an excellent point of distinguishing philanthropist supports to the arts.
    Jelina Haines Jelina Haines Fri 12th Nov, 12:11pm
  • We have about 25 minutes left for your questions
    Feral Arts Feral Arts Fri 12th Nov, 11:37am
  • There is still a huge gap in the cultural sector that the Australia Council is not able to fund or develop strategies for - museums and galleries. Would your cultural policy be expansive and develop ways to include them in the future?
    Alex Marsden Alex Marsden Fri 12th Nov, 12:33pm
  • Thank you Tony Burke MP for being so across the arts portfolio, the long lens of historic landmarks, its depth, and its potential..

  • where we are at post covid is in urgent triage. we need to multiply funding levels by a factor of ten and prioritise independent practises
    Rory McLeod Rory McLeod Fri 12th Nov, 11:53am
  • The activation that happened in response to the Senate Enquiry, has tarnished us all. The cultural gold is in the "unfunded" practitioners. How can we cleanse the record and reset the cultural landscape with a sector-led approach to curating what we believe is iconic - not bureaucrats on the payroll, determining our Voice. What does @Minister Burke believe is possible to support the capacity building of the sector and "clearing" our reputations?
    Melissa Robertson Melissa Robertson Fri 12th Nov, 11:17am
  • Yes Eve - we can provide a transcript
    Feral Arts Feral Arts Fri 12th Nov, 11:17am
  • We all remember the years of 'consultation" in the lead up to the reimagining of the Australia Council model - only to have it tossed out. Many of us sat at those meetings and shared our thoughts. We don't forget!
    Melissa Robertson Melissa Robertson Fri 12th Nov, 11:16am
  • Will this exchange become an accessible transcript later ?
    Eve Stafford Eve Stafford Fri 12th Nov, 12:16pm
  • Thank you Tony Burke for responding to the morass of current arts funding and arts education with both your heart and your mind. I teared up at the end of your speech -- It has been so looong since we've heard a politician say anything meaningful or true.
    PJ Rose PJ Rose Fri 12th Nov, 11:45am
  • Advocacy has been mingled with activism and profiled the independent, second tier Arts sector as "renegades". The activation that happened in response to the Senate Enquiry, has tarnished us all. The cultural gold is in the "unfunded" practitioners. How can we cleanse the record and reset the cultural landscape with a sector-led approach to curating what we believe is iconic - not bureaucrats on the payroll, determining our Voice. What does @Minister Burke believe is possible to support the capacity building of the sector and "clearing" our reputations?
    Melissa Robertson Melissa Robertson Fri 12th Nov, 11:15am
  • That is a great point
    Mel Bone-Manser Mel Bone-Manser Fri 12th Nov, 11:40am
  • @Minister Burke, As an artist myself, my time predominantly volunteers works. Can Minister Burke solidly underpin the importance of artists and recognise their contribution to the Australian economy?
    Jelina Haines Jelina Haines Fri 12th Nov, 11:33am
  • Can Tony imagine a way to join the dots more effectively so arts and culture are meaningfully embedded in other sector departments/portfolios and also leading transition as we respond to Climate Emergency?
    Pippa Bailey Pippa Bailey Fri 12th Nov, 12:00pm
  • Q: Tony. Thank you for your heart and mind. Where do you stand on the sector's advocacy having been underpinned by the 'creative industries' narrative all these years...has it brought us to the point where Paul Fletcher can do the sleight of hand with retailers being lumped in with arts and culture?
    Tina Broad Tina Broad Fri 12th Nov, 11:30am
  • We may well lead change but at what cost to us as creatives without value and respect from the community which in turn is lead by government .

  • Also worth considering that ARTS training is virtually out of reach for most but the most wealthy now.
    Shelley Lush Shelley Lush Fri 12th Nov, 11:21am
  • That is always my beef. As a visual artist my choice of career is not taken seriously.
    Mel Bone-Manser Mel Bone-Manser Fri 12th Nov, 11:20am
  • During the COVID, I cancelled 15 face-to-face arts workshops and exhibitions.
    Jelina Haines Jelina Haines Fri 12th Nov, 11:16am
  • More rigour and transparency in decision making please.
    Melissa DeLaney Melissa DeLaney Fri 12th Nov, 11:13am
  • simply put, the Australia Council funding is a drop in the ocean. it's not enough, even before the cuts, it was not enough. it should be a billion dollars at a minimum. no question
    Rory McLeod Rory McLeod Fri 12th Nov, 11:12am
  • It saddened me, that supports for the arts is always used as a political tool and the last on the political agenda.
    Jelina Haines Jelina Haines Fri 12th Nov, 11:09am
  • watching online - thank you for providing this option!
    Gill Hicks Gill Hicks Fri 12th Nov, 11:03am
  • Yes the ditching of the Creative Australia policy was shameful and very damaging
    Feral Arts Feral Arts Fri 12th Nov, 10:30am
  • @Dr Kate Shaw, thank you for sharing, its a reality for artists that we have to work together on how we can utilise our knowledge and expertise to revitalise our country.
