Title Change the rules or perish
Author(s)Greg Coote
Volume 11
Page Number 58
Comments Scathing remarks on Australia being a small nation and therefore correspondingly having a small pool of Talent - Sick of seeing the same faces and directors/writers all the time.
Synopsis Greg argues that change to the rules governing Australian content on television is vital.

Overseas productions made in Australia with overseas actors should not be penalised.

Australia should welcome hybrid productions with open arms.

Australia should go out of its way to make the task of shooting here as smooth as it can possibly be.

Australia is losing too many Directors, Writers and Actors to 'the big wide world that gobbles up spectacular talent.'

Suggests the Government should juice up the 10Ba legislation to get investors back into the business while simultaneously building in some tricks to keep the gypsies out and allowing more foreign elements in.
