Australian Governments
According to the Creative Australia website, 'culture is not created by government, but enabled by it'. The Australian Government aims to maintain the cultural links with other countries by creating an environment that values cultural activities, promotes excellence and participation while supporting risk and exploration, and distinguishes diversity in all its forms.
The Australian Government’s role in managing culture is most obvious in the major cultural organisations funded, including national galleries and museums, the Australia Council and Australian Broadcasting Corporation. These organisations are the main factors of Australian cultural heritage as they preserve and develop our heritage, make it available to the public and offer opportunities to construe and create new cultural products and expressions.
The Federal Government is responsible for negotiating agreements for international trade. Trade agreements are important to Australia so that there will be no enemies made, therefore cultural links would still be intact. The trade industry allows Australia to share cultures via the food and other products traded. The Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement was negotiated there would be full access to a range of goods and services, the US would have better access to Australian agriculture and more. The negotiation of the 1977 Basic Treaty of Friendship and Co-operation between Australia and Japan was also helpful for managing Australia's cultural ties with Japan. The Federal/ Commonwealth Government also has a part in managing exchange students. They are responsible for the immigration, health regulations and oversease travel safety issues. Issuing designated student visas for in-bound exchange students is also the Commonwealth Government's responsibility. University World News says, "Over the past three decades, the number of students enrolled outside their country of citizenship has risen dramatically". In 2012, USA hosted 16% of the foreign students, which is the most. Australia hosted 6% and Japan, who emerged into th exchange student programs recently, hosted 4%. It is the Federal Government's role to maintain or improve these statistics.
State and Territory Governments invest on their own resources and directly support the building and creation of cultural institutions. This include galleries, museums, performing arts venues, touring programs and festivals. These places display the artworks from the US and Japan, and also attracts tourists from these countries. The exhibition The Golden Journey: Art from Australian Collections includes artworks that cover the period from the first millennium to the twentieth century, displaying works of Buddhist and Shinto arts, theatre costumes and traditional paintings. The State Governments work with Local Governments to create festivals from different countries to add diversity in our multiculturalism. This would include the Japanese Moomba festival held in Melbourne, which brings Japan's spirituality into Australia. The State Government has the State Olympic Councils who organise the Olympic games, bringing together the sporting cultures of each country.
Local Governments manage sister-schools that are in their area. They don not directly manage the exchange students but manage issues the schools who are involved. The Local Government organises cultural planning to create identity, memories and relations with different cultural and religious backgrounds. Australian councils invested $435.7 million in arts and culture during 2012 and 2013 (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2014). Australia's Local councils are responsible for providing recreational areas, including those specifically made for Japanese or American sports. Areas such as these includes dojos for Japanese martial arts, arenas or stadiums.
