Screen Producers Australia calls for Netflix to have Australian content quotas

Screen Producers Australia has called for Netflix to have Australian content quotas similar to what they have in Europe.

The announcement:

Screen Producers Australia CEO Matthew Deaner welcomed the announcement last week that Netflix and other video-streaming sites would be subject to European Union content quotas and investment requirements and looked to Australian policy makers to enact similar reform.

“These are big, disruptive, successful businesses that have had time to expand in the Australian market without making any significant investment in local production. It’s time they step up to the plate and contribute to new Australian film and television production.
