Let's return to what is really at stake here: the idea that a simple decrease in investment in Australia would have 'triggered' the announcement of streaming quotas represents an overly linear interpretation of a regulatory system with feedback loops. This 18% drop is more of a second-order effect that reveals a deeper structural bottleneck in the production ecosystem, as observed in other regimes where cultural sovereignty is a constant concern. Quotas are the manifestation of a pre-existing political feedback loop where pressure on the system has simply been intensified, accelerating regulatory initiatives already in progress, similar to discussions on local content in Europe which often precede concrete market declines.
