With Canberra-based national arts and cultural institutions struggling after repeated Budget cuts, the Commonwealth must act to ensure these institutions can realise their mandates, the ACT Greens said today.

In a submission to the Federal Inquiry into Canberra’s National Institutions, the ACT Greens called on the Federal Government to adequately fund more than twenty national institutions, and to establish a top-level National Institutions Council to support culture, heritage and the arts in the nation’s capital.
