Peter McGauran (Gippsland, National Party, Deputy Leader of the House) Share this | Hansard source

The government and I are great supporters of documentary filmmakers. They do it hard; nobody does more important work than documentary filmmakers. Film Australia has an international reputation to be envied. We are very supportive of them. They help shape our culture and tell our stories in unique ways, often with a great deal of insight and courage. It is admittedly a favourite form of filmmaking on my part. I will have to consult the minister herself to get a definitive answer, rather than inadvertently misrepresent her by giving an answer on the run.
