The SST has a story on Merilyn Tweedie’s refusal to talk to media, despite receiving $500,000 of taxpayer funding.

Painter Grahame Sydney has defended this, saying “Tweedie had no obligation to explain herself or her work” and “The public isn’t in this equation”.

If that is so, can we have our $500,000 back please as we are not part of this equation.
