'Justice League' director George Miller continues to rail against the Australian government to grant the 40% tax credit to the American studio production and facilitate hosting the shoot in his home country.
Miller continues to champion the idea that a string of major Hollywood tentpoles, while they may not be Australian films per se, would be essential to building a strong Australian film industry on par with those seen in New Zealand and Canada. Such high-profile movies would provide a steady flow of jobs and keep filmmaking talent in Australia, which would lead to more truly Australian productions.
Apparently the government's decision to refuse the 40% tax rebate is not final, but Miller fears that the slowness in making the decision is a bad sign that will force the production to move elsewhere.
