CJZ co-founder hits out at Screen Australia board, the government and Austrade

The Screen Australia board ‘knows nothing about’ the industry, Austrade is ‘a waste of time’ and the government is no friend of the local screen industry. These were amongst the explosive claims by CJZ co-founder and managing director Nick Murray on stage at the Screen Forever conference last week.

At one point during the takedown of the Australian government and Austrade, Matthew Deaner, the CEO of Screen Producers Australia – the industry body which organises the conference – tried to rein Murray in, however the producer responded with: “No, mate, don’t shut me up”.

Murray: ‘The Australian government can’t be fucked’
