Scott  Morrison visited the Gold Coast to pledge additional funding for the local film. and television industry.

The $500 million pledge is designed to entice more predictions to shoot in Australia with the money going to an already existing support program.

he Coalition argues the investment is estimated to attract around $3 billion in foreign spending and create 8.000 jobs a year.

Mr Morrisob. hopes that the money will lead to more jobs for people in the struggling industry from actors to make up artists and carpenters.

“This investment is key to our JobMaker plan to create jobs, boost local businesses activity and provide training and skills.”
