Description:
“Certainly, having been a minister myself, I would take the opportunity to support, to recognise the significance of what Melba was doing and to assist them to achieve the goals they’ve set out. Melba’s been extraordinarily ambitious… and they’ve seized opportunities – the Adelaide Ring of 2004 the classic example – of where the ABC… didn’t take up the option to record. Melba did. And at outstanding quality. And won international awards and gained international recognition and praise that really drew attention to what Australia was doing.…. That’s a tremendously important, significant part of telling the national story."
