I adored that job.

Two million dollars into the industry.

And we did a little booklet called 50 Books You Can't.

Do you remember that?

It was so much fun.

Actually.

Oh gosh, it was really scary.

So we w we just got a phone call.

And you know, with that money I had staff to do those promotions, you required people.

We had a website, we had a Facebook page.

And anyway, so uh we got a phone call that morning.

It was in March.

from the Department of the Arts and they said uh it must have been the Oz Council at the time, I think.

Anyway, whoever it was

said it's defunded and it was Tony Abbott, the Tony Abbott government, and they said it was defunded.

And that everything had to be shut down.

The website had to be shut down, the Facebook page had to be shut down.

And that's it, there's no money.

That's it from that moment, right?

Now I'd already spent money on that campaign for the years, so I was out of pocket.
