ARTS AND CULTURE

• Continue the provision and management of cultural resources for the benefit of all New Zealanders, and the support and promotion of our country's history and heritage.
• Government's cultural programmes should largely be decided in consultation with sector groups and achieved through non-departmental agencies.
• Maintain funding programmes but ensure funds are fairly allocated and transparently applied.
• The party's economic policy offers strategic partnerships a range of incentives, including tax abatement on value added and start-up tax concessions. These will be available across all qualifying activities and could, for example, include the film industry.
