Here is a piece by Keith Windschuttle on the Australian Arts Council subsiding leftwing-progressive magazines while giving nothing to rightwing-conservative enterprises: http://quadrant.org.au/opinion/qed/2016/05/australia-councils-revenge/
Interestingly, Quadrant has only ever received a modest amount of government largesse and that, as far as I know, has always gone towards paying for the poets in the magazine. The the services of the rest of us are paid for by subscribers.
