The 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.

"Today's labour (sic) pollies look a bit like the conservatives of the early seventies and Howards mob are(sic)beginning to look a little to the right of Attilla the Hun. Bob Brown and his mob only care about trees and the Lib dems spend so much time fighting amongst themselves they have completely failed to notice they are now totally irrelevant." - Who the hell are the Lib dems?
