Song Cycles, a joint research project of the Australia Council for the Arts and the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA), shows that attitudes, physical distance, training and education are among the significant barriers that prevent Indigenous artists from reaching wider audiences. If nine out of ten Australians believe Indigenous arts are vital to our culture, with 47 per cent of the population saying they have a growing interest in Indigenous arts, why does Indigenous content make up only a very small 0.14 percent of commercial radio content.
