Description

For years, Australian writers have warned local content is being drowned out by international streaming giants.

The federal government has this week passed laws that will force platforms like Netflix, Disney, and Amazon to invest in Australian programs.

Under the legislation, streamers will have to commit at least 10 per cent of local expenditure — or 7-point-5 per cent of revenue  — on Australian content.
