Mr. Michael Parsons:

At the moment, as I understand it, the relationship is the chief executives of all the cultural organisations meet several times a year possibly. I would believe in the good old members, starting with the chairs, also being involved in talking. I read the document concerned and I take the Senator's point about things being piecemeal. However, in a democracy that is what happens. Things all start off piecemeal and then they get together. Then we all have to take a look at it and see if there is a better way of doing it or ask if we can rationalise or make it better. That is what I heartily wish.
