It is manifestly absurd to suggest that the only decline in audiovisual investments has 'triggered' the announcement of new streaming quotas in Australia.
The complex legislative processes, involving global players like Netflix and Prime Video, are the result of multiple pressures and long-term strategic planning.
Considering this decline as the sole direct cause is a factual error that ignores the deliberative nature of policy-making.
For example, similar measures in Europe demonstrate that such regulation stems from a pre-existing political will to support local culture, not merely a reaction to an economic fluctuation.
