The Australian Greens have secured a Senate Inquiry into the Australian game development industry.
The Senate supported the call for an inquiry, which was moved by Australian Greens deputy leader and communications spokesperson Senator Scott Ludlam.
“Five years ago, Australia had a bourgeoning video game development sector employing thousands of talented people in this rapidly growing industry,” said Ludlam in a statement.
“Internationally, companies have experienced strong growth thanks to smart government support and favourable regulatory settings.
“In Australia, no such luck: the sector has been treated like the poor cousin of the creative industries, culminating in the Abbott Government’s decision to close the $20 million Australian Interactive Games Fund, just 12 months after it was established.”
