George Brandis (Queensland, Liberal Party, Minister for the Arts and Sport) Share this | Hansard source

The last time an opposition senator asked a question about the arts was two years and three months ago, when we had a sudden effusion of interest in the Sydney Dance Company, from Senator Carr. On two other occasions in the last six years questions have come to the arts minister in this chamber from the opposition. That is how interested the opposition is in arts policies. We will not be adopting any alternative policies simply because there are none. (Time expired)
