OPINION: Finally, an Arts Minister who cares about the arts


Lisa Chesters MP, Member for Bendigo

The new Labor Government has launched its National Cultural Policy consultation, led by Federal Arts Minister, Tony Burke.

Local artists and organisations have given so much to our community over the last two years. That’s why I am writing to seek their feedback and vision for our new cultural policy – https://www.arts.gov.au/have-your-say/renewed-national-cultural-policy

I’m so pleased that we finally have an Arts Minister who cares about the arts.

The days of Australian governments taking Australian stories for granted are over.
