AUSTRALIAN FILMS
"Good quality films will fo¢us the interest and attention of the world upon Australia," said the ABC Weekly. lately. "They can be made the pathfinders to increased population, bigger trade-and all the amenities that go with these things. It is quite unrealistic to portray Australian types (for overseas consumption) as loutish hillbillies whose vocabulary is limited to such words as ‘dinkum’ and ‘bonza,’ and whose chief occupation in life is to take a rise out of the ‘city slicker.’ It is not merely unrealistic; it is damaging."
