Chelsea vote A full crowd at the Chelsea cinema voted to abandon selling the heritage icon this week. More than 550 members of the public attended a public meeting organised by the Save the Chelsea Action Group. The panel included Burnside councillors, politicians, heritage experts and the Chelsea Cinema manager. Save the Chelsea Action Group spokesman Andrew Reilly said there was strong community support for the event. "It went very well. We had a fantastic turnout and as far as we know it s the largest public turnout ever held in Burnside on a commu- nity issue," he said. A vote calling on Burnside Council to abandon the sale was supported unanimously. Fairer deal for indigenous artists The indigenous arts sector has welcomed a new code of conduct designed to enforce ethical art dealing. The code, which was endorsed by national and state culture ministers last week, sets out to protect indigenous artists from "carpet-bagging" -- in which they re exploited and underpaid to the profit of art dealers. A 2007 senate inquiry recommended a code be developed after it found extensive evidence of fakery and carpet-bagging in the indigenous arts sector. An industry com- mittee will administer adherence to the code, but compliance will not be mandatory. Instead, buyers will be encouraged to only trade with dealers who can prove they are a signatory to the code. "A voluntary code will bind those who sign up to it and also clearly throw the spotlight onto those individuals and organisations who refuse to sign up," said Federal Arts Minister Peter Garrett. Consequences for breaches of the code are not yet final, although industry professionals are confident it will have an effect. "Anyone can see that if you don t sign up for the code you run the risk of isolating yourself from the industry and sending a message to the industry that you don t trade ethically," said Graham Marshall of Marshall Arts. Mr Marshall said it was also in the best interests of the public to buy from code signatories as it provided protection from fakes. Elizabeth Tregenza, who manages the Ananguku Arts and Culture Aboriginal Corporation which advocates for artists in the APY lands, said the code would work because it had been written in collaboration with artists. "It is anticipated, based on consultation, that all indigenous artists will support the code as it s in their best interests," she said. 2009 Annual Hawke Lecture.
