The Minister spoke about the industrial relations infrastructure but that has failed to deal with this matter to date. We have had numerous cases over and back. Like everyone else, I can accept that one aspect relates to the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport, section 481 relates to the Minister for Finance, and another issue relates to the Minister for Enterprise, Culture and Employment; however, we just need to find a means to deal with the issues, be they related to copyright, workers' rights or blackballing. It is fair enough to say we want to see a sustainable and thriving film industry and that we should have something because we put so much money in through tax breaks and other means but, again, the DAC anomaly is different from what obtains in many industries. If the Minister could find a means of reviewing and solving these issues, such that we did not have to keep coming in here to raise them, we would be all happy enough.
