U r absolutely right. The only thing that will re ignite the buisness is for people to use deferrals and presales to get projects up. This will discipline producers to orientate to the market and popular films not Kultural propaganda.
It will take out the massive corruption factor enedemic in Government funding models and reintroduce diversity inot the Australian Production slate. Hopefully then "The Bad Old Days" of Government funding (AKA Corruption) will be a distant memory and all of those involved in the Film industry here will be able to have fun again.
