The Northern Territory government has released a 3 year NT Screen Industry Development Plan, to create more jobs and support local screen businesses.
The plan is part of a record $9 million investment in the screen industry. The government is also calling for nominees to join a newly established Screen Industry Advisory Council (SIAC) .
Minister for Tourism and Culture, Lauren Moss said, “The Territory Government is investing a record $9 million into our film and screen sector over four years, recognising its importance in sharing the Territory’s story with the world and its economic potential to the Territory.
“The new council will provide a key advisory role for Government, guiding our efforts to invest in initiatives that will grow and develop and build a self-sustaining screen industry as part of our broader cultural economy.”

This is a good initiative because not only would it provide a voice for indigenous stories, it would also foster an industry in which indigenous people can achieve great things. There has been a long history of indigenous involvement in the media, especially in regards to radio and television.
