House of Assembly Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time South Australian Film Corporation SOUTH AUSTRALIAN FILM CORPORATION Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Bragg SOUTH AUSTRALIAN FILM CORPORATION Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg) (15:58): My question is now to the Treasurer. Did the Treasurer approve a $100,000 payroll tax exemption for the producers of the children's television show Resistance? The Payroll Tax Act only allows for exemptions for feature films. As part of a $1.5 million incentive to lure the children's show here, the SA Film Corporation agreed to underwrite an application for a $100,000 payroll tax exemption. Production of Resistance, as we now know, is not happening in South Australia. Had you approved that? The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Member for Bragg, I think you have probably answered the question yourself. The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly Playford Minister for Workers Rehabilitation Minister for Defence Industries Minister for Veterans' Affairs The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Workers Rehabilitation, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (15:59): I will need to go back to my records and check. Normally what happens when we are approached—or when I am approached—any relief we get with regard to any taxation is normally done by way of an ex gratia grant. I don't have any recollection of such an ex gratia grant, but I will certainly go back to my records and check.
