## Resource

Eight Indigenous leaders have been quietly purged from key Queensland cultural boards, sparking outrage and accusations of a covert “Project Invisibility” aimed at erasing First Nations voices from decision-making. With only two replacements appointed, major institutions like QAGOMA, the State Library, and the Queensland Museum now lack Indigenous representation, despite ongoing advisory roles. Prominent figures like artist Bianca Beetson and elder Cheryl Buchanan—whose removals were done without explanation or warning—say the government is silencing dissent and pushing toward Eurocentric policies. Critics warn this undermines cultural integrity, especially in institutions responsible for repatriating sacred objects, and highlight the rejection of a proposed Indigenous poet’s name for a new arts venue. The Arts Minister’s office insists decisions were cabinet-level and confidential, but the fallout has ignited fierce debate over who gets to shape Australia’s cultural future.
