You are invited to attend a virtual gathering in support of the launch of the next stage of the Make it Australian campaign.

We will hear from industry leaders who will deliver the message that Australia’s world-leading screen industry is ready and willing to help address the generational challenges we face to get people back to work and rebuild businesses – provided the right government settings are in place.

‘Winter worries that the burden still falls upon child actors’ personal tutors to be their protectors on set. He advocates for a dedicated person “whose job is only to make sure that they’re safe, to make sure the protocols are being followed, to make sure that they’re being listened to”. He draws a comparison with the intimacy experts who are now brought on sets to ensure that sex scenes are handled properly.
“I think it will get done. I’m pretty pollyanna-ish that the train has left the station. Most people in the industry are good and don’t want kids to get hurt, and if they understand the mechanics of this stuff will actually do the right thing generally.”
Henry Thomas, who starred in Steven Spielberg’s ET aged 11, and the other former child stars interviewed in Showbiz Kids, appear as well-adjusted and often successful adults, but also betray a note of ruefulness, a pang for something not lost so much as never lived.

Entirely disheartening to observe how unvalued and disrespected the visual arts and creative industries are within Australia. How very passionate, talented and imaginative people have to struggle so hard to get their work completed, just to be largely ignored. 😞
How many suicides happen because of this callous government attitude? Does Cabinet know? How do they sleep?

Post things happening to celebrate this week below. Here’s one from the MCA:
Today's A Mighty Girl Community Pick: "Women in Art: 50 Fearless Creatives Who Inspired The World" by Rachel Ignotofsky. From the creator of the best-selling "Women in Science" comes a new book celebrating fifty trailblazing female artists from around the world! This gorgeously illustrated book pays tribute to women artists in a wide variety of fields, from painting and photography, to architecture, to music, and much more. Her whimsical illustrations invite kids to thumb through the book’s pages, introducing them to many artists who rarely appear in mainstream history books, while the capsule biographies are accompanied by informative infographics on a range of topics. It's a celebration of artistic expression that is sure to inspire young readers to find their own way to create! Highly recommended for ages 9 and up.
"Women in Art" is available at www.amightygirl.com/women-in-art
Ignotofsky is also the author/illustrator of "Women in Science" (www.amightygirl.com/women-in-science) and "Women in Sports" (www.amightygirl.com/women-in-sports), both for ages 9 and up.

I think that Australia should have at least one public University in every city/state, with a mix of private. It’s actually quite doable and given the Covid situation, now is the time for action. Silver linings everywhere...
