Carla Zampatti had a beautiful soul.

She was much more than a creative leader and an astute entrepreneur. Her passion for the arts was immense and her generosity to arts companies, particularly the Sydney Dance Company, was legendary. My love and deepest sympathy to her family.

The news that those who work in and love the arts have been waiting for. Well done @PaulFletcherMP 👏🏻

After a hard few months the people of NSW deserve the chance to let their hair down and sing. Great Southern Nights is a brilliant initiative from our NSW Government for the live music sector. Shout out to Dan Rosen and the ARIA team for their work on this. Watch the reel 🎥

Interesting statistics on the arts sector as it looks to emerge from the COVID-19 lock-down.

Twenty years ago, I walked across the Harbour Bridge to mark the first National Reconciliation Week. Twenty years later, we still need to be “In This Together” to achieve meaningful reconciliation.

From June 1 residents of NSW will be allowed to visit cultural institutions. This is a great opportunity to support your local galleries by visiting them over the Queen's Birthday long weekend, or to go out and see one of the many museums across NSW!

The search for 100 yrs of Australian cultural history is on! Ask your family and friends, search your attics, check your walls and garages. With over 6000 missing portraits you never know where one might be.

Supermarkets & pharmacies in NSW will now be able to trade around the clock, if they choose to, so people can access essential goods whenever they need them during this period. Businesses & people need more flexible arrangements right now, and we're making it happen. #COVID19au

[Dominic Perrottet @Dom_Perrottet]

I'm pleased to say Parliament today passed an amendment to the Long Service Leave Act allowing workers who wish to access LSL early to do so, with mutual agreement from their employer. This will help to support families during this difficult time. #nswpol #auspol @business_nsw
