Submission to the Senate Environment and Communication References Committee: Inquiry into the future of Australia's video game development industry [Submission 92]

From the Submission Summary: In this submission, I have argued that the TOR questions relevant to the video games development industry in Australia applies well to the wider digital economy. I have argued that the digital economy deserves more attentive strategic attention and should be pursued with vigour in order to position Australia competitively across all industry sectors. I have argued that interactive digital media are useful for both entertainment and serious applications. Finally, I have argued that the market for interactive digital media is growing quickly relative to other media and traditional manufacturing. Ignoring the need for a renewed and more vigorous national digital strategy would be a great loss to Australia’s future.
