Deputy Boyd Barrett has raised his issue, but I have not heard a debate on section 481 in recent times in which there was not support for investment by the taxpayer in the arts, including the visual arts and the film industry. However, I also have not heard a debate that did not raise the concerns about employment. There is an issue in that while this is extended until 2024 - and I am sure the industry hopes it will be extended again beyond that-----
