    Her with-us-or-against-us philosophy was hugely socially destructive

    I guess that's easy on the conscience if you don't believe there's any such thing as society

    latest work performed live in welli next month

    Rhian Sheehan talked to Kim Hill this morning (streaming, 31 mins) about the show, the album and mainly music in general. Can't remember if the subject of funding came up - maybe somewhere towards the end?

    Aren't there similar concerns with Film Commission funding? Balancing commercial imperatives with public ones is tricky but yes, there seems no decent excuse for hiding decisions or criteria for them.

    Actually, yes, I should say genuine change also involves listening to what others suggest. This area does not seem bereft of good ideas, probably just agreement at all levels which ones to pursue.

    You still haven't advanced a single positive idea.

    To be fair, there was using Amplifier to select recipients. Otherwise, I agree it's hard to see the shoulder for the chip.

    Nothing short of scrapping the mandate and the entrenched cronies, starting from scratch with a clean slate

    Robbie, even if you think so ill of everyone in the industry, consider that cutting off one head is not going to stop another popping up unless you tackle the roots.

    Genuine change means persuading a whole lot of parties that you see more clearly than them how things could be better. That's hard work and it takes skills that frankly I don't have yet, but at least I'm committed to learning. I'm sure you can do better too.

    You just seem to have to make someone the bad guy, don't you?

    Seems it's easier than understanding how complex systems actually work
