Can we truly claim that a simple drop in cinematic investments in Australia has 'triggered' the announcement of regulatory quotas without considering the underlying political intent? It is a far too simplistic assertion that ignores the complexity of public policy development and the sovereignty of government decisions. Decisions to impose quotas, such as the funding obligations imposed on streaming platforms in France well before a major sector crisis, are the result of a deliberate strategy, not an instinctive reaction to economic fluctuations. To claim otherwise would be misleading and would conceal the true nature of the decision-making process.
