The process works! Kinda!
Liberal Senators will amend controversial film incentives bill
The proposed changes would:
- Remove the right of the heritage minister to refuse tax credits based on "public policy" or to issue guidelines about film content.
- Give producers an efficient judicial appeal mechanism if the minister blocks or delays funding.
- Continue to prevent government funding of pornography, child pornography, and hate propaganda.
That sounds pretty okay! The overall edit on the omnibus might trigger an election, but as long as we don't get a Tory majority out of it that's okay by me!
Hooray for appointed government committees? :D?
