Our screen industry is world class. We are known here in New Zealand as a great place to make movies and to make television and games. This isn't just because of our dramatic landscapes. It's because of the talented, creative people working in our screen industry. However, there is one feature of our screen industry of which none of us can be proud. The general law of New Zealand, consistent with international best practice, is that the courts will look at the real nature of a relationship between parties and determine whether they are an employee or a contractor.
