I'm a SPACE cadet doing my one year internship at Salamanca Arts Centre!

[Peta Heffernan @petaheffernan]

2hour forum commitment by @WilkieMP @NickMcKim @Catbilyk JoAnn Volta talking cultural and arts policy #ArtsCultFo

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

Labor getting a bit ah... dunno what word you'd use... passionate? #artscultfo

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

You can't have a conference of any kind in Australia without mentioning Hugh Jackman. It's a rule. #artscultfo

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

Lots of agreeing going on. Mildly disappointed in the calm, mature discourse. I sortof wanted a dustup, you know? #artscultfo

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

Wow, someone asked a question Mr McKim didn't have a policy on. I'm impressed. #artscultfo good catch though, he speaks really well.

[Jane Longhurst @janelonghurst]

@Catbilyk appalling cuts to Screen Australia and @AustralianLabor will seek to restore $ back to Screen Aus #artscultfo #ausartsvotes

[Lucy Hawthorne @stealthpooch]

Volta in response to @BrionyKidd 's q on film funding: we need to fund many individuals, not just one org #ArtsCultFo

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

Labor: laments the necessity for seeking philanthropic funding and states we shouldn't have to rely on it #artscultfo

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

Labor: restore screen tas funding - acknowledges @wideangletas and their hail mary save this year #artscultfo

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

How do the candidates plan to help tasmanian film makers? #artscultfo

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

Oop question time and Briony Kidd is straight up! No hesitation at all #artscultfo

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

It Is maddeningly hard to write grants! I'm asked to help with that more than any other aspect of art #artscultfo

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

Mic placement, the perpetual bane of shared mic situations #artscultfo

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

I think I saw Abi from @wideangletas nodding pretty emphatically here https://t.co/tMdRWv8guH

[Lucy Hawthorne @stealthpooch]

Volta: if we gave as much $ to local filmmakers as we do Hollywood blockbusters, we'd have a much more vibrant film industry. #ArtsCultFo

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

@pipstafford @TheArtsParty I know what you mean. Their website is quite good, but yeah a bit of a missed opportunity here tonight

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

@stealthpooch oh bother, I was over excited

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

McKim: parliament house artist in residence program. I'll be in on that! #artscultfo

[Lucy Hawthorne @stealthpooch]

I would love an easier grant process, particularly ArtsTas grants. It's takes DAYS to apply & acquit a $500 grant. #truestory #ArtsCultFo

[CJ @Spacecadetcj]

Info is a two way street, he wasn't aware, now he is. Win! #artscultfo https://t.co/OnZxg5MLB3

[Lucy Hawthorne @stealthpooch]

Wilkie: I didn't realise how hard it is for artists to apply for grants. I will help streamline that #ArtsCultFo
