Morry Frenkel speaks with Angie Bell MP, member of the House of Representatives, representing Moncrieff as a Liberal National Party MP, and sitting with the federal Liberal Party. Since February 2026, she has been Shadow Minister for each of Arts, Sport, and Youth. Angie talks about the ongoing repercussion of the doxing of Jewish creatives that occurred soon after the horrors of October 7th, 2023, and is critical of the Labor Government’s failure to deal with the rise of antisemitism that followed. Angie also discusses the vital role of governance in tackling the scandals that have beset Creative Australia, the Australian Government’s principal arts investment and advisory body. Her recommendations to the responsible Minister to address the issues that have arisen around Creative Australia have not produced any response. Finally, Angie looks that the important role the Arts plays in society, but believes there are limits to the challenges posed by creatives.
