EAT Bill passes by a hair


The Education, Arts and Training sponsoring team have passed the compulsory art studies bill. The division recorded a 38 for, to 33 against split. The bill called for Queensland students in years 8 and 9 to have greater access to visual art as a subject in their studies. The bill aims to allows students to get a taste for art, thus helping to foster the arts in Queensland.

The Oppositions amendments suggested that incentives proposed by the bill for institutions who participate be removed, as well as minor and rather petty, spelling and gramar mistakes. No amendments were passed.
