00:12We know that the Australian stories that are told by the arts and culture sector are being swarmed by content from overseas increasingly.
00:20And we know that rising production costs and the cost of living are impacting on the sector.
00:25That's something we've been working on together as ministers, but it's something the government alone can't solve.
00:32It's why we're looking here at some of the big leaders, including some of the tax leaders, to really support parts of culture, those important Australian voices.
00:41We're here, I'm here along with the Treasurer, to really welcome these colleagues here to New South Wales for this important discussion.
00:49I'm particularly pleased to be able to weld with Tony.
00:52I want to thank the Federal Government for being open-minded about this discussion.
00:57That's really important to be able to start these important discussions.
