Morrison government spruiks $135 million arts and entertainment boost | Sky News AustraliaMinister for Cities and the Arts Paul Fletcher has touted the federal government’s $135 million boost to the arts and entertainment sector as it comes out of the challenges brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. \n\nSpeaking this morning to the media, Mr Fletcher and Treasurer Josh Frydenberg detailed the package - $125 million of which will boost the government’s RISE grants scheme with the additional $10 million to go to Support Act. \n\nSupport Act is a charity which provides crisis support for artists and other workers in the sector. \n\n“I would make the point that this is about jobs, we’re getting performers and creatives back on stage, we’re getting the backstage crews back to work, and front of house as well,” Mr Fletcher said. \n\n“The arts and entertainment sector is a major employment generator and of course it also generates jobs in adjacent industries. \n\n“So, the Morrison government is strongly backing the arts and entertainment sector.” \n\nThe treasurer also spruiked the announcement, saying “this is welcome news for a sector that’s been hit hard and with the easing of restrictions will get back to a COVID normal.” \n\nMr Frydenberg thanked Mr Fletcher for his leadership “in driving the COVID response to the creative economy.”\n\n\n\n\n\n PaulFletcherMP How much of that will end up in the performer's pockets? PaulFletcherMP No funding announcement made by this government is to be believed. We recently found out the $2 Billion bushfire relief fund didn't exist. PaulFletcherMP Big deal all about entertainment but what about art that changes the face of humanity? Where's It's place... nowhere because...

Myanmar anti-coup protestor urges Morrison government to do more | Sky News AustraliaProtest leader from the Myanmar Students’ Association Steven Han says he’s grateful Australia has suspended its military aid program with Myanmar but believes it should do more.\n\n“I also believe Australia can do more on this matter. With Australia’s record of advocating for human rights, they should be taking a leading role in taking consideration of what’s happening in Myanmar and taking accounts on those who are cracking down and bringing them to justice”, Mr Han said.\n\n“In the area I grew up in, police were seizing the whole suburbs, protestors couldn’t get out and they were banging door by door to arrest protestors the whole night. \n\n“Everyone is living in fear day and night.”\n\nMore than 50 people have been killed since the unrest began last month when the military forcefully took over the democratically elected government.\n\n This is the UN's job, where is the action from the UN. 🤷♂️ All they seem to be doing is calling for action. At least Australia has actually done something. 👍
