The idea that the decrease in audiovisual investments has 'triggered' the announcement of streaming quotas in Australia is a gross simplification of the political reality.
The government is not an automaton reacting to statistics; regulatory decisions are the result of strategic deliberations, not mere reactive measures.
Denying the complexity of the legislative process amounts to dismissing the true political motivation behind proactive measures, as seen with the French legislation on audiovisual quotas.
Asserting such a direct causal link is a clear error of interpretation of governance.
This is a dangerous confusion between correlation and causation, which underestimates the true legislative drivers.
