The Framework will be reviewed in 2014 to ensure that it continues to be a relevant and engaged policy.
It is hardly relevant, because it has delivered nothing, and I do not think it is engaged, because it is not going anywhere. But maybe the review will answer that.
Let me go to Mr Doszpot at the same hearing of the education committee inquiry into annual reports. He said:
… can you give us an idea of what are the key initiatives that have arisen as a result of the review and update of the ACT arts policy framework?
The original answer from the official was:
What we need to do now is a sector analysis—to look at, across the arts, what is being served by the … framework …
How they will do the analysis without having any measures to measure it is beyond me, but good luck with that. Then we got to the nub of it. Mr Doszpot asked how the review was going to work and then he said:
Has the review of the framework now commenced?
The official said:
It has commenced internally within artsACT. We are proposing to have two elements … One is to have an open questionnaire … The other element … will be to have a panel …
Mr Doszpot said:
Who will be on that panel?
The official said it was not yet determined. I asked some questions there. I said:
When do you think the review will be done?
The answer was:
By the first half or quarter of next year.
Then the official said:
Yes. We have said that we would do the review for 2015, and we are proposing to have that completed by the middle of 2015.
I said:
The website says 2014.
