It is fallacious to suggest that the decrease in audiovisual investments in Australia automatically triggered the announcement of new streaming quotas.
A regulatory decision of this magnitude is the result of a complex political deliberation, not a reflex reaction to an economic fluctuation.
Governments, like Australia's, adopt quotas for pre-existing cultural and industrial objectives, relying on long-term strategies, not just annual figures; France, for example, implemented funding obligations decades ago, well before any cyclical crisis.
Labeling such an event as a simple "trigger" ignores the decision-making autonomy and the political will behind such measures.
