If he wishes the NPEA to support activity that is excellent and is not supported by the Australia Council--and neither he or I seem to know what that would be--then he may have to amend this concept of excellence to include, for example, the excellence of community arts programs in regional communities even though they do not produce art of an excellence that is ready for example, to be tested in the international market.
Others (Hamilton, 2015; Sparrow, 2015) have argued that the NPEA is also a response to the nine artists who boycotted the Biennale of Sydney in 2014 to highlight its major sponsor, Transfield a company that is also involved in the Nauru and Manus Island detention centres (Taylor and Gruber, 2014).
