The fed gov is running a hearing on their arts and philanthropy inquiry today, but they're looking in the wrong place. Philanthropy is a tiny part of overall arts funding and won't help big problems like the post-covid arts recovery. Employment is still way down compared w the rest of the economy

On 26 Jan 1788 the British invaded lands of a couple of First Nations. There's over 300 Nations on this continent, so 100s of invasions occurred over many decades. There were Martu people in 1964 who'd never heard of white people. Invasion was not a single day. Colonisation is not a single event

The abrupt and indefensible closure of Meanjin makes me ask, what can be done to shore up the future of literary journals in this country? How about funding the arts to the OECD average. That would mean an extra $5b per year. With thanks to @jocaseau.bsky.social for her ever-excellent edits on this

Meanjin was closed – but new Australian literary journals are springing up around the country
Literary journals are breeding grounds of talent – including the new Splinter, rebooted Southerly, and First Nations journal Sovereign Texts, launching next year.
