Dear ~~first_name~~,
 
As you have likely heard, the government is "developing a new cultural policy for the decade ahead. Anyone involved in or interested in our nation’s arts, entertainment and cultural sector is encouraged to have their say." We took advantage of this opportunity and made a submission on behalf of all CHASS members. We stressed in our concluding statement that  "...Creative Australia is a starting point and not revivable as a working document as the context in which it was developed has changed markedly. A current NCP needs to be attuned to the current context."You can access the full submission here.
