From Brealey's obit  in the  SMH:

 He shared the view of many of his peers, that our cinema should be stylistically rooted in Australian life and times and should not be an alien imitation of Hollywood. Every step of his working life was unswervingly dedicated to these ideals. As a result, his triumphs were sweet and his struggles to attain them sometimes bitter...  
Brealey was a visionary with his feet on the ground. He brought some powerful qualities to his work - a bright intellect, great imagination, high principles and a great talent for organising and focusing the sometimes ephemeral aspects of the creative process into the practical realities of production. One of his great legacies was the cohort of once-young filmmakers he set upon their careers, who, in their maturity, are showing in their own work the dreams he had for the Australian cinema.

 The obit discusses this film

[When working as a documentary maker]  Between-times he gave rein to his wit and love of experiment. He had a magisterial scorn of cant and bureaucracy, and made a satirical feature in which he cast dogs as departmental bosses. It was called Say Bow Wow and was telecast without any of the ABC’ s senior officers realising they were the dogs
