“The Australia Council has just thrown a shirtful of public money at an advertising agency to tell the arts community that it has to stop being “elitist” and make everyone feel relaxed and comfortable about the arts. Presumably when everyone is convinced that fingerpainting and being Richard Tognetti are equally easy, they’ll start queuing for Schoenberg. It’s enough to make me throw the papers across the room. But I don’t. I heckle, silently. Well, almost silently. I do a lot of muttering.” – Sydney Morning Herald
