FINDING OUR PLACE ON THE ASIAN STAGE
Alison Carroll and Carrillo Gantner
Should we care about our neighbours in the Asian region? write our authors, who have spent a lifetime in such engagement. This has been called the Asian century and Australia as a western neighbour, is being offered unique opportunities. More should be made of the many Australian artists who live and work in China, Japan and Indonesia, as well as the companies that tour with Asialink.  In the past connections made through Foreign Affairs and the Australia Council have been subject to the changing policies of successive governments, and subservient to trade promotions and the overriding need for financial return. The authors outline the way public funding has reflected trade policy over cultural policy and points to the benefits our artists are already bringing us by getting to know our neighbours better.

THE REAL STORY OF THE TELEVISION WE HAD TO HAVE.
The conduct of a commercial television service is not to be considered as merely running a business for the sake of profit. Because of the influence they can bring to bear on the community, the business interests of licensees must at all times be subordinated to the overriding principle that possession of a licence is a public trust for the benefit of all members of our society.

PMG Charles Davidson to Parliament on the passing of the Broadcasting and Television Act 1956.

Platform Papers 25
Erin Brannigan has provided an important catalyst with her considered, complex and persuasive study which is a pleasure to ponder on. It should be on the reading list of every dance and creative arts course and disseminated widely through the industry.

Platform Papers 27
Any blogger will know the weird sense of beginning an online ‘conversation’. It's akin to delivering an informal lecture to an empty auditorium. In most cases, you're met with silence. This is no different from a newspaper review, or a novel, or a message scratched into a bus stop seat.
John Bailey, Melbourne arts journalist and bloggist
