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.

I do so like our constructive arguments.
Yes. My definition's are my definitions. I think there was a miscommunique about the 'indig' factor. As limited as writing is (without churning out another feature length worthy script to explain my viewpoint), I try at least to convey some of my perspective. So the man who sued god was an austrlian film? See i never knew that. And I should have. FOrgive me for not connecting billy Connolly with australia. 9was it even a good film? i thought it was a lousy concept. certainly it didn't boom at the box office)
Okay Let's try again:
Name an iconic australian film made in the last ten years.
Name an australian film (nonanimation) that did well at the box office.
See? it's really hard and it shouldn't be.
The above questions 'should' be able to be asked of Joe Schlub on the street, and they should be able to at least answer with "well there was that one with "
Ps: And to the question "What's the?" we are pinpointing why the australian movie industry is so abysmal by first analysing market value of product. Understand? Good.
PS I suspect 'Australia' will do well. Since it's Baz Nicole Hugh and 150 million.
