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.

Why do you not include
Tue, 15 May 2007, 07:15 pmWhy do you not include Indigenous work? Surely that should count as Australian?
And again, you list all these qualifying terms, but then say 'Wolf creek could have been better'. It is in your eyes that it could have been better. That does not make it unsuccessful. Subjective v objective.
I could talk to twenty industry professionals who could all come up with completely different qualifiers for 'successful', none of whom would be wrong.
Let's just agree to disagree.
