The article works on the assumption that Australia has no film industry, (that is self-sustaining...in which case it is an inaccurate reading of the industry in this era.)
The article then introduces a somewhat bizarre economic suggestion for a potential production structure for Australia's film industry, as seen through the eyes of an eccentric Government local member. The suggestion reveals Australia's low self-esteem in terms of production and budgets to Hollywood.

| Synopsis |
An article investigating Australia as a possible central home to film-making, and means in which this industry could be formed. Much attention is given to costs involved with film-making, with many references to America's methodology. A viable film-industry in Australia is envisaged with dependance on American studios and American production schedules.
