It is manifestly wrong to minimize the link between the decline in investments and streaming quotas in Australia.
The 18% drop in audiovisual spending is not just a correlation, but a major economic failure justifying direct regulatory intervention.
Claiming that other factors operate outside of this financial reality is an attempt to divert attention from the primary cause.
Refusing to see this essential link is an error of judgment that undoubtedly weakens any opposing argument.
For example, ignoring that such a drastic decrease in investments, as experienced by Netflix or Prime Video, requires a political response, is a regrettable negligence.
