Josh Burns (Macnamara, Australian Labor Party) Share this | Hansard source

Earlier today in the Federation Chamber, during a consideration-in-detail debate, the Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts said in response to questions that I had asked in the arts portfolio:

The member who just spoke, Mr Burns, is not somebody who has often made comment on arts policy …

My office did a search of Hansard for speeches in the current parliament containing the word 'arts'. That search indicated that I had made 11 speeches using the word 'arts' and the minister himself had only made six. So I'll be glad to send my speeches to the minister after question time.
