The turn away from green and indies is interesting and I’ll leave it to those with a more nuanced understanding of politics to unpack what happened to cause that shift.

I suspect the increase is less about being happy with labor and more a reflection of concern about Trumpian style agendas being enacted.

I think being scared of loosing funding from donors, and fear of a repeat of Brandis is part of this terrible decision (except - oops they’ve now lost a major donor…)

I also had a bit of a chuckle about that - more apt for house construction than something as significant as ACMI.

🙉🙉🙉 not listening. Don’t want to hear this. Sticking my head in the sand for a few more years.

Work travel is so much fun. Took me 12 hours to fly from Sydney to Melbourne this week - driving would have been quicker…

I am so frustrated by arts and culture being the first thing cut when budgets get tight. When the world was a literal bin-fire it was the arts we all turned to, but now we’re told they are a luxury and not important. #rant #artisimportant #art+health

That sounds like a cracking discussion.

It was a great panel to speak on. Loved the insights and discussion, particularly with the insights from construction.

You can put me down for hating coffee.
