● Martin Foley ■ State Minister Martin Foley was unable to tell the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee where Orchestra Victoria would be relocated to after he evicts them from their long standing home in Albert Park later this year, says Shadow Minister Heidi Victoria. “Estimates suggest that the cost of putting the Orchestra in temporary accommodation could be up to $1 million per year, blowing out Labor’s budget,” says Ms Victoria. “This information came as the committee heard that arts funding in the Government’s 201617 Budget was down 2.4 per cent.”
