‘Australian governments in the period since 1946 have significantly sup-ported and shaped publishing and literary culture. By the end of the century, federal support included Public Lending Right, Book Bounty, book marketing programs, school library acquisition programs and marketing campaigns for books and book exporters.This was complemented by state government funding for literary organisations, publishing grants, and writers' grants and prizes. Motivated by a mix of social, economic, cultural and education policy goals, these direct and indirect measures helped shape the output, circulation and status of Australian literature.’(Introduction 165)
