Australia joins international call for local content quotas on streaming TV platforms
In January 2024, Screen Producers Australia (SPA) joined international counterparts from Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, and Canada in advocating for mandatory local content quotas on global streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime. The coalition argues that without such regulations, the independence and viability of local screen industries are at risk. They urge governments to enforce policies ensuring streaming services contribute to the production of content relevant to the markets they operate in, thereby preserving cultural diversity and supporting local creative sectors.
