reminds us that even a staircase can be the perfect place to
install something floral and dramatic) and we're all just so happy

home." - Design*Sponge The Flower Fix presents wild inspiration and
modern arrangements by Swallows and Damsons florist Anna Potter,

branches, rich foliage and delicate petals; nature has the power to
inspire and energise, calm and soothe, focus and still. Anna has

This book examines the tensions inherent in Australian children's
television drama production and Australian cultural policy in a
multi-channel international television marketplace. Australian
children's programming has traditionally exported well to European
countries and these markets are crucial to its financial viability.
However, although the provision of high quality children's
programming remains a key objective of Australian policy makers,
and is enforced through local content quotas, European channels are
becoming less interested in purchasing this type of material.
International sales and co-production agreements are crucial to the
production of Australian children's programs but look set to
decrease. Therefore if Australian governments remain convinced that
such programming must be produced locally, it is likely further
financial assistance will have to be rendered to Australian
producers.
