Prime Minister Scott Morrison said: ‘This package is as much about supporting the tradies who build stage sets or computer specialists who create the latest special effects, as it is about supporting actors and performers in major productions.’

There’s $75 million for new festivals, concerts, tours and events; $90 million in loans for new productions; $50 million for film and television productions; and $35 million in direct aid for theatre, dance, music and circus companies.
