Due to the slow response of the State
Minister for the Arts, the Musicians'
"DOES MUSIC MAKE YOU VIOLENT?"
The poster and leaflet both direct
people to a webpage
(www.musicians.asn.au/musicandviolence
) which contains more information and
recommends that they contact their local parliamentarian (there is also a link
to the contact details of all State parliamentarians).
All musicians should try to get the poster up at every venue they play at. We
also need to get leaflets onto tables, bars, benches and any other horizontal
surface at venues!Supplies of both the poster and the leaflet are
available from the Musicians'
There will be downloadable pdf files of the poster
and leaflet (in black and white and colour) on the
webpage by Wednesday for those who want to print their own.
Many musicians have been asking what they can do to help address the situation,
well here it is. Let's get the message out as fast and far as we can. Remember,
the more noise we can make the faster the response from government is likely to
be.
