My latest piece for artsHub has gone online today: A step closer to the National Cultural Policy?

I was quite surprised when QUT @CreativeIndust tweeted ‘A step closer to the #NationalCulturalPolicy?’ http://ow.ly/aZevm op ed by @McFifi @artsHub. I guess it was ‘op ed’ I’m just unused to people noting that it is. A proper analysis of the Australia Council Review would be better given events this week but I’ve been at a funeral in Newcastle for the past few days and had to finish this piece late Monday night. Someone else will write about it I’m sure.

I highly recommend to anyone interested in the field of cultural policy to revisit Creative Nation, if for no other reason than to remind themselves that a government document can be definitive and enlightening and even a little inspiring, at least in the intro.
