An open debate on the National Cultural Framework #SmithSQDebate. 

There is much to evaluate; it is encouraging to see numerous local authority representatives championing grassroots organisations that embody cultural practice. 

Several recurring concerns were articulated: the need for decisive action rather than further documentation; the generation of new funding and innovative financial models; and sufficient influence to prompt governmental response. 

These points are valid and attainable through the inclusion of additional voices. I do not favour criticism; however, I would welcome the opportunity to propose solutions should the Local Cultural Authority, the Task Force for Cultural Change and the Cultural Leadership Organisation be receptive to them. 

Nevertheless, as a framework intended for artists and creative practitioners, I am surprised that it was not formulated for the grassroots facilitators who represent this culture. 

We already contend with siloed processes. Although the framework is a positive development, I am concerned that genuine transformation will be challenging unless all stakeholders are engaged. 

For meaningful change, government, local authorities and the community must enjoy equal access to information, and all should be heard.
