Screen Producers Australia has called for Netflix to have Australian content quotas similar to what they have in Europe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Free to air providers are subjected to this in Australia at the moment so the likelihood it will eventually trickle down to online providers is high. Even more so now\u00a0that a precedent has been\u00a0set in the EU.<\/p>\n
The problem I have is when you read statements like this from Screen Producers Australia CEO\u00a0Matthew Deaner;<\/p>\n
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\u2019s time they step up to the plate and contribute to new Australian film and television production.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Step up to the plate? I think Netflix have done a pretty good job in incorporating local content with their initial launch. Mind you, having a heavily reduced library here also helps bolster the local percentage a bit too.<\/p>\n
If anything it’s statements and demands like that which only get peoples backs up & make those screaming the demands look like\u00a0self-entitled wankers*.<\/p>\n
*This post uses 0.5% local content via the word “wankers”.<\/p>\n
