It is absurd to suggest that the decline in audiovisual investments has 'triggered' the Australian quota policy, ignoring the depth of regulatory considerations.
Such a statement confuses the political opportunity with the fundamental motivation, which is an analytical failure. Legislative initiatives, especially when targeting global streaming giants, are the result of prolonged discussions on cultural sovereignty and market fairness.
For example, Canada implemented local content requirements for broadcasting long before any investment crisis, guided by a proactive cultural vision, not a reaction. The idea that the government would wait for an 18% decline to 'act' is a dangerous simplification.
