Again I welcome the thrust of some of the comments that the minister made, particularly in light of his acknowledgement of the significant challenges that Indigenous artists face and the prospects that a resale royalty scheme may or may not provide for them. I refer the minister again to the claim that Senator Kemp made that a resale royalty scheme ‘would not provide a meaningful source of income for the majority of Australian artists’. I ask the minister what the basis of Senator Kemp’s comments was and if in fact evidence provided by Michael Kroger on behalf of the auction houses was taken into account in the minister reaching this conclusion about a resale royalty scheme.
