Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs Inquiry into the Directors' Copyright Bill
Last week, the the Senate referred the Copyright Amendment (Film Directors' Rights) Bill 2005 to the Senate Legal and Constitutional Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 9 August 2005.
Submissions are due by 3 June 2005.
The notice of inquiry is here.
The bill and information about the bill can be obtained here.
If anyone knows why this matter has been referred to the Senate Committee, and in such a general rush, I'd love to know!
UPDATE: further to this last comment, rumour has it that the Screen Directors' Association is unhappy with the Bill. I can neither confirm nor deny that: I can't speak for the Association.
