Praise for musical Guru

As usual The Saturday Paper has been the media outlet that has consistently provided Australian readers with the most comprehensive news items during 2018. But it’s not just the news items that are of interest. Dave Faulkner’s articles on music are also noteworthy, and last week’s story about the lack of Australian artists played on commercial radio (“Australian trawl”, December 15–21) reminded me that nothing seems to have changed on these stations during the past 50 years since I was a child listening to music on my trannie. And he is spot on when he writes “Australian music is a huge driver of our economy and is a matter of national interest”. No other journalist has noted this worthwhile point before. Thank you, Dave.
