2008/09 funding crisis
On 23 October 2008, the Minister for the Arts, Peter Garrett, announced that ANAM would not receive any government funding in 2009 despite funding having been arranged initially in 1994 by the then Prime Minister, Paul Keating. A spokesman for Garret is reported to have said, "ANAM no longer represents the most efficient way of delivering support for elite classical music training." The ANAM Artistic Director Brett Dean said, "That is heart-breaking for music education in this country."
