The two letters in today’s Examiner are an interesting breaking of the silence in regard to the issues surrounding the QVMAG, the ratepayers’ payout of the Director’s contract plus Council’s management and governance of the museum.
The Aldermen’s resolve, having read and considered the Sage Report, to keep its sensitive and its potentially harmful contents confidential is to be congratulated.
It’s a decision that should be supported by any reasonable thinking person.
The real question that needs to be asked is where to from here given that the QVMAG is one of Tasmania’s cultural treasures and that there is a great deal at stake.
Apart from making a well-meaning but relatively ambiguous commitment to set up a “working group” to ” research, evaluate and make recommendations regarding [QVMAG] governance” nothing more has been heard.
Like commitments have been made in the past and have sunk without trace.
Largely this is why the QVMAG is costing Launceston’s ratepayers so much in their rates, not to mention the lost and missed opportunities.
