draft National Cultural Policy

[RNLD Admin]

Dear RNLDers,

The Australian Govt. has just released a draft *National Cultural
Policy*which aims to examine how the Australian Government should
support arts and
culture in the 21st century, and to consider significant changes to the way
we work, enjoy and participate in Australia’s arts and cultural life. The
policy will set a 10-year strategic vision.

The discussion paper makes important references to Indigenous issues -
languages, culture, broadcasting, film, visual arts, etc. and links to
related policies, including the National Languages Policy. Goal 1 of the
draft policy is to ensure that what the Government supports — and how this
support is provided — reflects the diversity of a 21st century Australia,
and protects and supports Indigenous culture.

You can download a PDF of the draft discussion paper here <
http://culture.arts.gov.au/discussion-paper>.

You have until Oct. 21 to respond. You can make written submissions or take
a short online survey. See this link for details <
http://culture.arts.gov.au/have-your-say>.

Go to it!

regards,
