Australian prize film awards face government dispute
Only four entries qualified for merit prizes offered by the Commonwealth Government for Australian films produced in 1934 to 1980. The film Pullers was considered for the top £16, fatherly award but the acting minister rejected the recommendation. The government had offered £125,000 for the best film and £21,530 each for second and third prizes, with conditions that films be judged by the Film Censorship Appeal Board on a 100 point scale. The Board ranked four entries, but the government overturned the third prize decision amid controversy.
