Author Topic: Will trade agreement kill off Australian film production? Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 06-13-2003 06:52 AM                        Here is the story. This debate seems to happen every time protectionist legislation is either introduced or removed - for example the first such occasion in the UK was the 1927 Cinematograph Act. Three quarters of a century later we still have a film industry - just. What do Australian readers think about this?  |  IP: Logged John Spooner Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: South Australia, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 06-14-2003 02:17 PM                     Dear Leo. This matter is actively being follwed up by our union in Australia, the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance. As a member I receive the weekly electronic bulletin, and would be pleased to forward it on to you by private e-mail. John Spooner.

Hmmm (ponders more) I say Go Free Trade Agreement! cheers Peter  |  IP: Logged
