ARTS AND CULTURE - GOVERNMENT ACHIEVEMENTS
Ministerial Statement
MR WOOD (Minister for Education and Training, Minister for the Arts and Heritage and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning), by leave: Madam Speaker, next Tuesday, 18 October 1994, the Prime Minister will be launching the Commonwealth's long-awaited cultural policy. I would like to use this opportunity to highlight a number of recent initiatives by the Follett Government which demonstrate our commitment to arts and culture in the ACT. Members will be aware that Canberra already enjoys a strong cultural profile, at the national level, with the National Gallery, the National Film and Sound Archive, the National Library, the National Science and Technology Centre and the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies all located in our city. Therefore, we all look forward to Mr Keating's speech. In this context, I know that the Chief Minister has been working very hard with the Federal Government to make sure that the Commonwealth's cultural policy properly and adequately addresses the role of the national capital in the life of the nation. In the light of this statement, and with Canberra again hosting the very successful National Festival of Australian Theatre, I believe that it is timely to reflect on this Government's achievements in this field.
