Government Gets Behind Games Developers

From Joystiq:
The Australian video game industry has suffered blow after blow over the past few years, having lost approximately half of its workforce and a number of its major development studios since 2008. Fortunately, Australian state officials have passed a bill which, when it goes into effect next month, will provide a $1.9 billion tax break for game developers to spend on research and development.

Im so glad the government is getting behind indy developers, it would be interesting what the requirements are to receive funding?..
