during Covid-19.
The policy will establish two new entities to cover music and literature, two areas perceived to have been disproportionately neglected under the previous government. It will also feature measures to place First Nations work and artists at the forefront. Literature will operate under a new support and investment body, Writers Australia, details of which are expected to be outlined at Monday’s policy launch. The sector learned on Friday that authors would begin receiving lending rights from audio and ebook loans for the first time under Revive, a move which is expected to boost writer earnings by as much as 20%.
