My question is to the Minister for the Arts, Senator Fifield. The minister, in his statement on Saturday, said the decision to return funding from Catalyst to the Australia Council was in response to:

… feedback from the Department, the Australia Council and the arts sector regarding the ongoing arrangements for the Australian Government’s funding for the Arts portfolio.

Why did former arts minister Senator Brandis fail to listen to the same feedback?
