Wednesday, 11 June 2008 |
|
 The Alliance condemns the NSW Government's failure to deliver on Premier Morris Iemma's promises to revitalise the film industry in New South Wales. Additional funds for the film and television industry in last week's budget would have been a signal that Iemma and his government take the industry seriously. But no additional allocation was announced and the industry is still awaiting his reforms. Read full press release here. Last month the Alliance launched Lights, Camera, More action! - a campaign to bring the NSW film incentives in line with other states.
