Marrickville hotel meat raffle lyfe. Dressed as Dave our saviour.
Won two meat trays, a tattoo voucher and some bric a brac in the last month. Stick with me, kids.
Another year watching some very talented artists on the world wide stage in all things TV. Was such a pleasure judging again and always so interesting to get a snapshot of other regions and the current thematic, cinematic, stylistic offerings. Hope to make the @iemmys in November and get my lil cute coin for the pool room.
BREAKING: Save Our Arts has just submitted its policy asks to @tony_burke_au as part of our contribution to Revive.
There are 25 policy asks that are revenue generating, regulatory/ cost neutral, and investment-based. We've just included the pan-arts asks here and will be posting our other policies over the next little while.
The cultural and creative sector contributes $122bn annually to GDP, just below construction, on par with education, and above agriculture.
But that's not the key point. It's our cultural identity and legacy. When people look back in 20, 50, or 100 years, are they going to be marveling at the Fuel Tax Rebate scheme, or our music, film, books, our visual art?
These are the policies we will be campaigning around from here until the next election.
If you support these ideas and want to get involved, DM us. We'd love to have you on board.
COMING SOON: our policy team had been looking at some of the best arts programs, pilots, and reforms from around the globe and listening to artists, arts peaks, arts businesses and arts academics about their major concerns.
We are in the final stages of our policy slate which we'll be sending along to @tony_burke_au 's office as part of the Revive mark II iteration, and then taking that slate on the road to pollies around Australia.
These are going to be significant asks that we think will be transformative, are well researched, and politically robust.
Let an eye out and don't forget to get on board the campaign. Ideas are nothing without a groundswell of support. DM us to get involved!
