The Game Developers Association of Australia is continuing its fight for the industry by organizing a meeting with Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, Senator Stephen Conroy. The GDAA hope to provide the senator with a better insight into the industry and convince him of the need for a 40% rebate for the local games industry. We are extremely pleased to see that Senator Conroy is prepared to take the time to listen to us, to find out more about our concerns regarding the state of the industry, and learn more about our vibrant and productive industry.

The absence of the same sort of rebate that other countries like Canada, Germany, the UK and China are able to offer to attract business is what is holding us back from a positive future. With a 40% rebate, the skys the limit for our industry here in Australia. Best of luck to the local industry, no matter the outcome. We should hear more about this later next week.
