Are schools getting enough bang for their technology buck?

He is amenable to looking at the requirement for films needing to secure theatrical distribution to qualify for the offset, but said that would require a legislative amendment.

Mason adds there is much to like about the current screen policy. He says the producer offset is a “game changer” and the Enterprise Program of business investment is so good he instituted it in NZ.

“We’re very lucky, and I would suggest we have cross-party support for its continuance.”

Mason also is clear to define himself as of the industry. He believes Screen Australia’s role is to advise “both the government of the day and the apparatus of government, to explain for them what we think is going to be the best bang for their buck”.

“I’d use the word advise rather than lobby. A reason an agency like this exists outside ministry is to be closer to industry.”
