Muse: Indecision 2011: Writing Policy on…, in reply to DCBCauchi,
There is a common argument put forward about Lotto funding of such things as ballet, opera, and orchestral music. It’s an outrage that poor people’s pokie money be used for highbrow events for the rich elite, the argument goes.
I think you'll find the argument is the proportion of the available funds dedicated to a few traditionally elitist cultural forms compared with many others that reflect the broad richness of our cultures. Subsidising entertainment for those most able to pay their own way is just icing on the cake.
