Federal Minister for the Arts Senator George Brandis QC has made plain in the past that he places great value on audiences.
‘It’s been one of my constant themes in both my periods as Arts Minister that the one group of stakeholders always forgotten about in discussion of arts policy is the audiences, or public who go to shows at galleries,’ he told The Weekend Australian last year. ‘Frankly I’m more interested in funding arts companies that cater to the great audiences that want to see quality drama, or music or dance, than I am in subsidising individual artists responsible only to themselves.’
