ARIA congratulates the Albanese Government on historic election win

Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) wholeheartedly congratulates the Albanese Government on their historic win over the weekend.

ARIA and PPCA CEO, Annabelle Herd, said: “We know the Albanese Government shares our love of Aussie music and is committed to making local artists shine here and on the global stage. 

“Our powerful local soundtrack has a critical part to play in what it means to be Australian. It is fundamental that young Australians are able to hear their stories reflected in recorded music or at live venues across the country. Music is a vital part of what makes a future worth investing in. Between DJ Albo, a hip-hop loving Treasurer and an Arts Minister in a band, we believe that future is in good hands.

“We are thrilled that we can now continue the work started under the National Cultural Policy, Revive, and are ready to progress our work with Ministers on outdated radio caps, maintain strong and effective copyright in the age of AI, back Music Australia and Creative Workplaces, and ensure Australian music has the prominence and opportunity it deserves.

“ARIA and PPCA extend our thanks and congratulations to all the successful candidates this election and reaffirm our commitment to promoting Australian music across the Parliament.”
