We’re ensuring the long-term future of Trove will be secure. One of Australia’s most significant historical and cultural resources, Trove was facing a funding cliff from June 30th, left over from the previous government. I’m proud to say today, we’re fixing that 💻

So relieved to see that Trove long-term future has been secured. What a relief! Trove is a cornerstone of Australian culture. Hooray! booksandpublishing.com.au/articles/2023/…

Interview from yesterday about a few of the issues with AI and the impact on writers and readers. youtu.be/noK1knjEERI
