In this episode of Airing Your Dirty Laundry, Daphne is joined by Tony Burke MP, Australia’s Minister for the Arts. With the federal election around the corner, the pair dive into the current state of the music industry in Australia - from the devastating wave of festival cancellations to the barriers artists face in accessing funding and making music a full-time job. They unpack the challenges of reforming outdated systems, Daphne questions what the government is doing to support the creative economy, and why investing in the arts is more crucial than ever.
