Welcome to the Theatre Notes 2020 wiki page
As you know, a rather surprised Ms TN (aka Alison Croggon) is one of the magic 1000 invited to Canberra for the Australia 2020 Summit as part of the Creative Australia panellistas. This is a chance to air some new ideas, or maybe refine some old but good ones. If the Rudd Government is serious, it's a chance for some input into the future cultural policy of our country. (Since when were artists asked about cultural policy? Just a thought. Usually Australia leaves stuff like that to the bankers and bureaucrats).
By its nature, this is a work in progress. TN readers have threatened to swamp me with suggestions on possible policy ideas, and this wiki is your chance to do just that. Here you can upload your own ideas, discuss the ideas here and argue with and help to refine suggestions. I'm hoping this will become a useful resource for me and others to clarify and extend our ideas.
