Gail Jones : Australian Literature is Chronically Underfunded - Here's How to Help it Flourish, Gail Jones , single work column

'This is an edited version of author Gail Jones’ submission to the parliamentary inquiry into the creative industries.

'Literary culture carries profound social value. In general terms it is essential to employment, cultural literacy and understanding of community, as well as to Australia’s post-pandemic recovery and growth. It is also radically underfunded and in urgent need of new support.

'I am particularly concerned with the low level of investment in literature through state and federal funding agencies compared with other art forms.'
