The Matildas, Kylie Minogue honoured for contributions to Aussie culture

The nail-biting game was one of 61,000 items added to the National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) to mark the outstanding contribution of Australians to the culture in 2023.

Kylie Minogue's earworm single Padam Padam, Dan Sultan's Chance to Lose Control and social media star Nancy Dennis' Krystal Klairvoyant TikTok comedy series were among the additions.

Darwin's Gold Coast and Hawthorn AFL match commentated by Yolgnu woman Sylvia Nulpinditj was also added to the archive as the first game to be called in a First Nations language.

"The incredible breadth of contemporary works added to the national audiovisual collection over the last year reflects the creativity and dynamism of today's creators as well as the adventurous tastes of Australian audiences," NFSA's CEO Patrick McIntyre said.

"Together with the historical artefacts that were also acquired, these items help us understand the nation we have become and also help us to explain to future Australians the nation we are today," he said.

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, the nation's audiovisual cultural institution, features a range of media from film and TV to digital and social media, games and advertising jingles.

"As well as preserving these items for future generations, NFSA curators continue to add to the collection, ensuring it provides an unbroken record of life in Australia and of Australian creativity," NFSA said.
