Big tech companies like Netflix and Amazon who make massive profits from Australians should be required to have Australian content and give something back to the Australian economy. "A country that invests in its community and democracy, invests in its own cultural assets and story tellers. "We will look carefully at the detail of the bill and reserve our position until we know it is strong enough to ensure a strong future for our screen industry, including children’s content.
"Australians deserve to see themselves and their communities reflected on their screens. Telling our own stories helps us makes sense of who we are here at home and around the world. "Generations of Australians grew up on a diet of Australian shows like Playschool, Round the Twist, and Bluey.
The next generation of Aussie kids deserve better than American junk."
