Screen Australia is about to lose $10.3m or 10% of its total appropriation. Given how hard Scroz drives its money, and how tight its staff is, that means a serious drop in available program funds. Gee, thanks Mr Government.
Lest we feel singled out, the Australia Council is taking a hit as well. $8m goes, but that is only 4% of its total budget of $216.7m for next year. Arts funded directly by the Attorney-General’s Department has been cut by $4.4m as well.
