“Save our film industry” petition

An online petition is asking Prime Minister Julia Gillard to increase the Location and PDV Offsets to 30 percent.

The goal is to collect 15,000 signatures; so far, 258 practitioners have participated.

The petition reads:

The Government’s current Location Offset and Post, Digital and Visual Effects Offset schemes are failing to deliver on their policy objective of attracting international productions to Australia.  These schemes have been successful in the past in attracting over 2.2 billion dollars in production spend in Australia. Those productions employ and train many Australian crews and actors and provide an economic boost to cities and regional areas.
