I don’t know about other fields, but certainly in the arts we see a lot of funding comparisons made between us and sport, the comparison is getting a little tired but it’s still telling of where we as a society place value. Today’s Croakey blog had an interesting comparison between mental health and sports funding in the most recent budget. I found it interesting, maybe you will too. I for one would be very glad to see elite sports funding slashed dramatically and for it to be redistributed amongst the many vital services (and the arts) which remain disgustingly under-resourced.
