Critical response

Not Quite Art has been accepted to favourable reviews and critical acclaim. An article in The Age Newspaper explained; "Not Quite Art is the freshest, most illuminating, thoughtful and funny locally made arts program in years."[2]

gollark: Yes, which you have to do to actually spend it.
gollark: Anyway, here is my *alternative* tax policy plotted on the same axes.
gollark: That doesn't seem like a problem? If they only get minimum wage, they... only get minimum wage? Capital gains tax is a thing.
gollark: Tax should clearly be done like this (precise numbers subject to change).
gollark: How did the discrete tax bracket thing even happen? What made people think "yes, this is clearly the best and most elegant way to do things"?
