My personal and deep gratitude goes to @benjjau who has championed this result unwaveringly. He has been uncompromising in his approach and has pulled every stop needed. Thank you Ben for what is a definite game changer for Australia's video game development sector.
Sorry I haven't tweeted much recently, but its a big day! The @AuSenate a minute ago passed the bill to implement the Digital Games Tax Offset #dgto. The DGTO is now law. More details to follow, but what a massive win for amazing Australian-made video games. 🇦🇺♥️🎮
