La Mama relies on the Australia Council for a significant proportion of its funding, but Mr Watts said the loss would not spell the end of the company, which has at different times been home to artists including Cate Blanchett, Jack Hibberd, Graeme Blundell, Judith Lucy and Julia Zemiro.In recent days the Australia Council has attempted to ease the pain of the almost-complete shutdown of the performing and visual arts sectors.
The Australia Council funded this stop-gap with an additional $4 million saved from other activities and by asking the successful companies to absorb a 30 per cent reduction in their grant for 2021. "Despite unprecedented whole-of-industry collaboration in outlining urgent needs for stimulus to prevent industry collapse, I am deeply concerned that those specific needs are not understood," she said.
This government has never supported the arts, if it has its been very grudging. Libs do not get that more people follow attend arts, theatre, concerts, galleries and festivals than ever go to the 'footy'! Yet they pour countless $$$ into it. In the UK

Companies sending Australian medical supplies to China are 'foreign agents' | Sky News AustraliaOutsiders host Rowan Dean says the Australian based companies who were 'at the beck and call of the communist government' in China are 'by definition foreign agents'.\n\nAustralian based Chinese companies were found to have sent over tons of Australian medical supplies and equipment to China throughout January and February when the coronavirus was at its peak in the communist country.\n\nMr Dean said the idea these 'Chinese companies aren't actually at the beck and call of the communist government, the communist party in China, is a falsehood'.\n\n'At the drop of the hat, all the (Chinese) government had to do was to pick up the phone and say for the next few weeks all your employees will go and do our bidding and rush around Australia buying up all their medical supplies'.\n\nMr Dean told Sky News host Andrew Bolt, if China were 'genuinely in a situation when [it] needed a helping hand' then they should have asked, because 'Australia is one of the most generous countries in the world'.\n\nImage: AP Rowan really knows their tricks! Be careful of these medias and companies funded by CCP, they are desperately promoting propaganda RIGHT NOW. Irrelevant click bait. I said that days ago. Journalists just copy others on twitter, wait a few days and write their articles using other people’s ideas. Nice.
