Victorian Labor Party Pledges Music Sector Support via Ad Mandate
What happened
The Victorian Labor Party pledged commitments to support the state’s contemporary music sector, which is valued at $3.55 billion. If re-elected, the party plans to require Victorian music in government advertising across TV, radio, digital, and social media, with state ad spending reaching tens of millions of dollars annually. The broader commitments also include funding for regional touring grants, festival support, and reforms to noise regulations.
