Report on Australian film & new media industries tabled in Federal Parliament

This week a Parliamentary Committee report titled Reel to Unreal: Future opportunities for Australia’s film, animation, special effects and electronic games industries was tabled in Parliament. Included in a range of recommendations across the film, television and new media sectors, was an extension of the Division 10BA tax write-off to the games industry and for state and federal governments to jointly establish a ‘creative incubator’ for the creative industries. The report noted that the main incentives for games development came from Victoria and Queensland.
