Johnny notes:
Things are slowly starting to pick up with the announcement of the 10BA tax rebate which meant that people could invest in Australian movies and get a 150% deduction on the amount they invested plus only pay tax on half of the income that the movie made. This had it’s positives (more movies and jobs) and negatives (movies were shittier or just never released). We only see a small uptick in 1981.
This year is when both sleaze-masters, John D. Lamond and Terry Bourke, released their sleaziest movies, plus a contender for the sleaziest Australian movie of all, Centrespread, was also released.
I guess we can call 1981 the sleaziest year for movies in Australia.
