First of all, asserting that the decline in investments in Australia is the only trigger for streaming quotas is an oversimplification that ignores global dynamics. In this jurisdiction, the same fact is viewed differently if similar policies are observed elsewhere. For example, European countries have strengthened their quotas for local creation, not in response to a decline in investment, but out of a sovereign desire to preserve cultural diversity. The Australian decline may have served as a catalyst locally, but the regulatory impetus is deeper and often independent of the immediate market.
