The Australian screen industry welcomes news the Federal Government is considering introducing a local content quota for Netflix and other streaming services that currently have no obligation to produce original Australian content.
In the context of current negotiations between the Australian screen industry, streaming businesses, broadcasters and the Australian Government, representatives of unions, guilds and industry associations from across the Australian screen industry have met to discuss their response to the Australian Government’s Refined Regulatory Models for the regulation of streaming services.
Today a delegation of Australian screen industry heavyweights arrived at Parliament House, Canberra, as proud campaign ambassadors of the Make It Australian campaign, where they, alongside a large number of screen industry leaders, converged to lobby politicians to support our industry’s future.
