The industry has responded well and positively. Dean Ormston, head of member services at APRA AMCOS, said:

The Federal Government's commitment to funding SOUNDS AUSTRALIA for the next four years is fantastic news, and will be welcomed by thousands of current and future exporting artists and music businesses. The support from the local and international music industries has been overwhelming - a testament to the work of the SOUNDS AUSTRALIA team, Millie Millgate, Glenn Dickie and Esti Zilber!

So this is good news. In case there are colleagues who are wanting to keep track of All Our Exes Live in Texas and Senator Smith, you have the opportunity in Albany to hear them play. I hope you take that opportunity. Senator Macdonald could have had the opportunity in Townsville last night to catch up with that great Australian band.
