The Nick Xenophon Team (NXT) today released an arts policy which is focused on rebuilding the Australia Council’s funding to pre-2015 levels and subjecting the Catalyst program to greater scrutiny and independence.
Led by the South Australian-based independent Nick Xenophon, who was originally elected to the Australian Senate in 2007 and re-elected in 2013, the NXT’s policy acknowledges that the arts represent a vital part of Australian life and that creativity and innovation are not limited to the science and technology fields.
