Arts and entertainment industry grants should start flowing to successful applicants before the end of 2020, according to Communication’s Minister Paul Fletcher. On Tuesday the federal government unveiled more details on the grant programs which will be included in the $250 million COVID-19 support package for the arts sector first announced in June. Applications will open from August 31 and will be considered in a rolling process by the government.
Mr Fletcher told Sky News about a $75 million rise grant, describing it as “a restart investment to sustain and expand” which was designed to support event organisers and ensure new shows will be open for the public as soon as public health restrictions are eased. “The issue here is it costs money to get a new show up, it costs money to hire cast and crew, hire the venue and market the show,” he said.
PaulFletcherMP So 9 months after they were all forced out of work. Way to move swiftly PaulFletcherMP
PaulFletcherMP Sure no problem take your time - a lot of our crew haven't seen any type of payment since March
PaulFletcherMP But will they reach the many performers, often young, who have suffered as a result of government restrictions or will they wash around the elite celebrities and their associated companies and networks - we shall see.
PaulFletcherMP Waste of money. Feed the hungry and house the homeless. Priorities are all wrong

Australia needs Trump to win the election because 'we cannot face China alone' | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator James McGrath says Australia needs President Donald Trump to win the upcoming presidential election to help it stand up to China. \n\nMr McGrath said China was the “greatest threat to the rules-based order the world is seeing at the moment.”\n\nPresident Trump would be better at dealing with China than presidential candidate Joe Biden because he knows “when you deal with bullies … you don’t give them shoulder massages, you’ve got to stand up to them.” Mr McGrath told Sky news. \n\n“Biden isn’t a foreign affairs hawk, he’s like a foreign affairs budgerigar”\n\nMr McGrath said Australia needed to ensure there was a 'coalition of the willing” standing against China and required the help of a strong president in the White House. \n\nImage: Getty realDonaldTrump I agree. I’m not a fan of Trump. But Biden is a puppet of China when he was VP. He agrees with China and not intend to make China accountable and eventually national security will be at risk. JoeBiden realDonaldTrump lol. What a moron realDonaldTrump Why he would keep standing against C after the election?
