Federal Budget Bad for Film Business
Fri, 11 May 2007, 01:17 pmThe most recent federal budget announced that $300 million would be set aside for Film and Television Production, including rebate incentives of 40% for Australian Films and 20% for TV.
This is offset by the plan to abolish what is known as the 10AB Incentive. This allows for producers to write off 100 per cent of their costs as a tax deduction and has stimulated the film industry in recent years. There are concerns that the removal of this incentive will see a drop in film production.

A drop in film production?
Fri, 11 May 2007, 01:54 pmA drop in film production? You mean we can get lower than the current situation?
I will not be surprised if Howard is out by the end of the year. He's really doing all the wrong things at the moment.
Any mention of the budget for theatre?
