Australia's creative and entertainment sector has received a major boost, with the Morrison Government announcing that $40 million will be shared by 82 leading organisations across the country, under the fourth batch of grants from the $200 million Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund. Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts, Paul Fletcher, said this $40 million in funding is especially important during such a difficult period for the sector. "Demand for RISE funding has been significant since it opened last year. The latest funding will be allocated immediately to create more than 56,000 employment opportunities across the country," Minister Fletcher said. "RISE has been critical in supporting Australia's live performance venues and events during an unprecedented time of widespread disruption from the pandemic." Creative Economy Taskforce Chair and Museum of Contemporary Art Director, Liz Ann Macgregor OBE, said the funding is a crucial lifeline for the sector to continue delivering events.

Instructions on how to complete the 2021 Census have started hitting the letterboxes of Australians. Ahead of the Census on Tuesday 10 August, 85 per cent of all households in Australia will receive a letter explaining how to complete the Census online or how to order a paper form. Assistant Treasurer Michael Sukkar said the letters would provide Australians with clear and concise instructions on how to complete the Census. "The upcoming Census will be vital in helping plan for the future of Australia. By giving people early guidance on how to complete their form on time and accurately, we are ensuring the 2021 Census will be a smooth and successful process," Minister Sukkar said. "People do not have to wait until Census night on Tuesday 10 August to complete their forms. We are encouraging as many Australians as possible to fill out their forms as soon as they can if they know where they will be on Census night."

The Morrison Government continues to focus on the protection of women and children from people smugglers and human traffickers, with World Day Against Trafficking in Persons 2021 marking another successful year of combatting this despicable crime. Minister for Home Affairs Karen Andrews said Australia would continue to bring charges against people smugglers and human traffickers, working to end the appalling trade. "Silence empowers human traffickers and people smugglers. This World Day Against Trafficking in Persons I want victims to speak up and speak out against this horrible crime," Minister Andrews said. "Sadly, young women and children are the most vulnerable to being trafficked - but help is available, and the Australian Federal Police have had several notable successes freeing victims and bringing offenders to justice. "Today, my message is simple: raise your voice on this important issue, educate yourself and others about this serious crime and the impact it has on victims, and ask for help if you need it."
