No part of Morrison’s announcement on 25 June appears to have progressed, with none of the funding package available yet.
The Morrison government’s long-awaited $250m arts package, announced in June, has not been spent yet – and it could take more than three months for the money to start flowing.
The slow start to the package comes as Victoria faces a second wave of Covid-19 infections.
Nicole Beyer from Theatre Network Australia, which represents the stage industry, said her members were worried about when the money would arrive.
