National issues and concerns: notes from the presidents

Abstract This report is made up of notes contributed by the speakers on the Presidents’ panel at Looking Forward, Looking Back, the inaugural Drama Australia Symposium held 29 September–2 October 2016, at the University of Adelaide McGill Campus. Each state/territory president, or their representative, was asked to talk about the particular issues that encompass contributing enablers or challenges in individual state contexts. This material helps us gain a point-in-time understanding of the national agenda with a state-by-state focus.
