SPAA Rips Up Commercials Agreement |
|
Thursday, 25 June 2009 |
|
The Alliance is shocked by the decision made by Screen Producers Association of Australia (SPAA) this week to unilaterally terminate the SPAA/MEAA Commercials Offshore Agreement effective from 7 August 2009 without any consultation. The Alliance will be consulting with performers over the next two weeks as to how they wish to respond to this attack on their rights. The Agreement between the SPAA and the Alliance sets the minimum terms and conditions, and broadcast and other rights for artists working on television and theatrical commercials produced in Australia – predominantly for use by overseas advertisers. |

Equity met with the federal attorney-general last week to discuss the delay in finalising the negotiation of an international copyright treaty to protect the work of Australian performers. We have called on the Government to introduce legislation if the treaty, which has been in discussion for three years, is not implemented in the near future. Our discussions with the attorney-general continue. |
