@ARIA_Official@oneruel Great stuff, and maybe while we’re there @ARIA_Official let’s also acknowledge The Necks for coming in #1 on the Jazz charts (momentarily knocking off Norah Jones /Buble finally). Not to mention Billboard #14 and UK #2. All the types of music !

Great story from @Nat_Whiting on the often dubious logging & development happening in the upper reaches of the Sepik River, PNG. Complex issues. Incredible landscapes. Really appreciate seeing increased PNG coverage on the ABC. https://t.co/qcPRWdWDWt

Auspicious moment when @AlboMP addressed PNG parliament last week. Beyond defence & rugby league there was also a welcome (if brief) nod to the value of art & culture. Hopefully there’s room in @Tony_Burke‘s new national cultural policy to expand our Pacific cultural diplomacy
‘Wonderful that @AlboMP addressed the Haus Tambaran in PNG showing the kind of diplomatic respect to our nearest neighbour that has been lacking under previous administrations. Pleasing to see the call to deepen ties in art sport and culture. #auspol#culturaldiplomacy
Raucous reception for Stephanie Lake’s Manifesto tonight @sydney_festival@Carriageworks & rightly so. Lake & co keep surprising & delighting with each new work. And then there’s the music ! @RobinFox01 + 9 drummers = a joy.
