Yes - it's happened! The DGTO bill has passed through parliament and the Australian games industry is celebrating. Thanks to everyone involved: https://t.co/JhpyvvqFBa

[Ron Curry @Ronki]

My personal and deep gratitude goes to @benjjau who has championed this result unwaveringly. He has been uncompromising in his approach and has pulled every stop needed. Thank you Ben for what is a definite game changer for Australia's video game development sector.

[Ben Au @benjjau]

Sorry I haven't tweeted much recently, but its a big day!

The @AuSenate a minute ago passed the bill to implement the Digital Games Tax Offset #dgto. The DGTO is now law. More details to follow, but what a massive win for amazing Australian-made video games.
