Standing in front of his desk, Minister for Trade and Customs, Frank Forde, directly addresses the camera in a speech running over three minutes. The speech makes mention of: a new era in Australian industries; greater opportunities for production in Australia; high standards of production; the aim to produce fifty features a year; and opportunities for Australian writers, actors and musicians. Forde also wishes every success for proprietor Frank Thring, Efftee Film Studios and the film Diggers (referred to as ‘this Digger comedy’).
