Abstract
In its new national cultural policy, the Australian government grapples with issues extending well beyond the creative arts.
The policy document places issues like First Nations representation, work and wages, technological upheaval, discrimination and sexual harassment front and centre.
This holistic approach has been welcomed and takes important forward steps in many areas.
But it is silent on one key issue.
After winning the climate election, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese promised a “new era” of Australian leadership on the issue.
So where is climate change in the new national cultural policy?
