Faced with no less than three funded bodies dealing with the screen sector in a small state, noting they were all changing direction and leadership, the new(ish) South Australian Liberal Government was also caught in a financial vice.
Minister David Pisoni asked the formally constituted Screen Advisory Committee and a bunch of industry people (aka The Heavy Mob) whether the whole thing should be scrunched into one agency. Various permutations of this have been tried across the state agencies, which tended to lead to fidgeting about the role of the film festivals and a heartless destruction of the Screen Network organisations.
