The Arts
The Greens have assured voters that they are committed to supporting the arts in Townsville.
Jenny Brown, Greens candidate for Mundingburra , is concerned that Tropic Sun Theatre Company may be forced to close due to lack of funding from the State Government. Ms Brown said, “The Greens believe in supporting and promoting local artists and protecting their work. The Greens would increase direct funding to the arts and artists and ensure access to the arts and cultural events in rural and regional areas.”
Ms Brown added that "The Greens would also ensure that the intellectual property and moral rights of artists (including the specific rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists) are appropriately protected, increase public funding for the ABC, SBS and community radio and TV, and increase local content requirements for broadcast and new media."
