1.1
What does Mark Rickards say about rap in Australia? (2 p.)

It is in competition with other musical genres in some communities
It is being used by the aboriginal youth everywhere in the country
It is a channel used to express political messages as well as love stories

1.2
According to Rhianna Patrick, which two things has music helped do for the young? (2 p.)

Draw attention to local issues, and remind them of their heritage
Remember their past, and distance them from society
Feel less lonely, and fix relationships with family members

1.3
How has hip hop changed over the years? (2 p.)

It is now accessible to a narrower range of people than before
It is more accessible to the older generations these days
It is still the same, but with different options for production
