Today the Senate Committee examining the effect of the Budget changes which will remove $105 million from the Australia Council over four years sat in Darwin.
General Manager of the Darwin Festival Mark Crees told the hearing that the Territory stands to be worse affected than other parts of Australia because of the promise made by former Arts Minister, and initiator of the NPEA, Senator Brandis that no major arts organisation will lose funding.
