SOCIETY DOOMED
It’s bad enough that rising sea levels, cancelled TV shows, harbour shadows, spiritual malaise, global warming and religious bigotry are destroying Australia. Now we must cope with, as the Age reports, the greatest threat of all:
The funding threat to La Mama Theatre is a threat to Australian society as a whole, writes Alison Croggon.
UPDATE. Ms Croggon at her blog: “Good things come to those who wait. The Age finally ran my opinion piece on La Mama Theatre being put ‘on notice’ by the Australia Council, almost two weeks after I sent it in, and only after Robin Usher caught up with the same story. After I submitted it, which ruffled my feathers slightly. An old journalist never loses those scoopish instincts.”
UPDATE II. Croggon scooped!
