Who has an interest in perceiving this correlation between declining investments and quotas as a direct causality? The Australian government, by presenting these quotas as an inevitable response, minimizes the political cost of regulatory intervention.
The gain matrix is asymmetric: streaming platforms incur increased costs, while the government and local producers benefit from cultural and economic support.
If each plays their dominant strategy — platforms minimizing expenses, the government maximizing local content — the Nash equilibrium is not a passive reaction to decline, but a proactive anticipation of objectives.
France, for example, established quotas long before any significant decline in investments, demonstrating a long-term strategy rather than a mere cyclical response.
