My latest for #theAIMN: In addition to other perceptions of neglect from Tuesday night's federal #budget, add the arts & entertainment sectors to that list. And @withMEAA and Greens senator @sarahinthesen8 are none too pleased. #auspol

Excerpt from @sarahinthesen8: "The arts and entertainment industry was one of the first to be hit by social distancing restrictions, it has suffered enormously throughout the lockdown and will be one of the last to recover."

Although federal arts and communications minister @PaulFletcherMP announced several areas of funding for those areas, @withMEAA head Paul Murphy says that the arts and entertainment sectors still remain inadequately funded. #auspol #budget

And while many workers in the arts & entertainment sectors failed to qualify for #JobKeeper in its original or expanded versions, @sarahinthesen8 said that investments, and not tax cuts, should be the way forward for those sectors, to inspire an economic recovery. #auspol #budget

Those are some of the talking points -- enjoy reading, discuss, and feel free to share this article from #theAIMN @AusIndiMedia website far and wide.

And many thanks, as always, for supporting independent & progressive journalism in Australia, no matter who provides it. #auspol
