Episode description
Streaming services have transformed the way we watch TV with 16 million Australians now accessing these platforms. But the giants Netflix, Amazon and Disney are all US companies with mostly US shows.
Last month the Australian government put out a proposal to force these streaming services to spend a certain percentage of their Australian revenue on Australian content. On today’s episode we ask ‘Should we force those platforms to make Aussie shows? We’re joined by Aussie actor, writer, and presenter Matt Okine, and the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance.
