Australians are known their love of sport, but a new survey has suggested Australians also appreciate the arts. The survey titled "More than bums on seats: Australian participation in the Arts" found that in the last year, some seven million Australians created art, whether it be playing a musical instrument, writing a poem or even knitting a scarf. Australia's largest ever arts survey interviewed about three thousand people across the country, to get an insight into Australian attitudes towards the arts.

Presenter: Sen Lam
