I don’t get this. For FTA it’s part of their broadcast license. If they want to use the frequencies they have to make the Aussie content. But streaming. No airwaves. It’s not broadcast. Why the hell do they have to do that.

It's a way to promote local culture, local industry and fight Americanization

Oh I get that part. Always have but with FTA you watch what is on not what you choose. With streaming you can watch what you choose to watch. They’re not the same thing and I don’t think they should be treated the same

FTA content has to compete with streaming content. The argument is that local content is unfairly restricted by content restriction rules that streaming companies don’t have to worry about. Same thing is happening in Canada, but we haven’t done anything to combat it yet
