The Commonwealth Attorney-General announced on 18 February that the Federal Government intends to introduce a Bill into Parliament during the first half of this year granting copyright rights to film directors.

The Attorney-General's speech – 'Copyright: New Futures, New Agendas' – is available from his speeches page.
