Muse Gallery Cyclone Fund Raiser
Muse Gallery has been donated nine framed prints by local artists: Kate MacKenzie, Josh Lancaster, Jane Gray and Richard Brimer, that we will sell via online auctions between 14 March and 14 April. Almost 100% of the sale price will go to the Fund (some money taken out for framing). Alongside this we are staging an exhibition in the gallery to support of our local artists with a minimum of 10% of the sale price going to the fund. There are over 20 local artists involved.
The exhibition opening is a free event open to the public on Sunday 12 March from 3pm to 5pm. There will be a couple of raffles and spot prizes. Instead of our usual offering of complimentary drinks we will sell tokens in exchange for a wine or beer.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
