Heidi Victoria, Victoria’s Shadow Minister for Arts and Culture, has accused the Andrews Government of ‘axing’ $13.5 million from the arts budget over the next three years.
‘[Premier] Daniel Andrews claims to support the arts in Victoria, but when you scratch the surface and look carefully at the budget, it is clear that with Daniel Andrews it’s all talk, and no action,’ Victoria said. ‘There is a $13.5 million cut to the arts in this budget, with programs being axed from next year.’
