             *Amplifying* their complete disregard and disdain for writers, books, publishing and bookselling. I know there was a concerted effort to get them to fix PLR, at the very least. Not a single mention of it. All I can say is WTAF? #writersunite

             that's about making sure any artists who are actually earning some money will pay tax on it. Modernise legislation? Surely that will include Public Lending Rights?

             The NZ Government has just released their Arts Strategy called Amplify. I searched in vain for anything related to writers, books and literature. I saw NZ Story as a participant - no, that's a tourism thing. I saw "tools to develop and support creative practices" - oops, no, 1/2

             Want to really know what USAID used to do until this week?
