How refreshing that arts grants in this country will now be decided by politicians, rather than that unaccountable body the Australia Council.
George Brandis will now have the discretion to choose who will win the $105 million of awards money – no doubt ensuring that artists follow the party line of pre-modern conformism.
Because, as we all know, all the world’s great artists made their mark by cow-towing to the governments of their day.
Balls Radio suggests some subjects that will meet George Brandis’s arts approval criteria.
Balls Radio is like talk radio, but for thinking people. Now a short daily occurrence, Phil Dobbie offers his opinions on what's happening, in the UK and overseas: politics, social policy, economics, science, religion. Yes, it's another, slightly overweight middle-aged white man telling the world how it should be. But there's nothing alt-right about Balls Radio. And we try and have fun along the way.
