Keneally at Canberra slams Australian literature and calls for more subsidies
Australian writer Thomas Keneally urged the Commonwealth and State governments to increase subsidies for writers during a Canberra Nation's Club Australia Day luncheon. He criticised Australian literature for not reflecting society's colour and diversity, while noting his own $46,000 Commonwealth Literary Fund grant for a new novel and recent works and plays. He outlined three flames of Australian literary consciousness ranging from frank hostility to Europe to evolving national identity.

Subsidies for Australian authors debated by Keneally
William Keneally calls for greater support for middle range writers in Australia while noting subsidies exist at NSW and Commonwealth levels. He argues subsidies can turn promising work into finished novels, contrasts civil drama funding with literary aid, and cites figures like $80,000 spent or $66,000 annually to underscore the gap in national backing.
