Screen Producers Australia<\/a> (SPA) were among the bodies welcoming the quotas.<\/p>\n\n\tAWG President and showrunner\u00a0Peter Mattessi\u00a0said: \u201cWorld events move fast and impact our industry in many different ways. Meanwhile, streaming platforms are taking billions of dollars out of the country in subscription fees from\u00a0Australians \u2013\u00a0Australians who tell us over and over again that they want to see more\u00a0Australian content on their screens.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cIt has been a long road to get to this point and after lengthy conversations with government, we are pleased to see our input incorporated into this model, and to see our nation once again require those who deliver screen content to invest in the importance of\u00a0Australian storytellers telling\u00a0Australian stories.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThis will not only help get us back on the even keel\u00a0Australian creative workers deserve and set our industry up to thrive, but will also ensure that current and future generations of viewers can enjoy and celebrate\u00a0Australian content on their screens.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThis announcement marks a landmark day for the\u00a0Australian screen industry,\u201d said SPA CEO Matthew Deaner. \u201cFor too long, our local production sector has operated in an uneven environment where global streaming services could reap the benefits of doing business in\u00a0Australia\u00a0without contributing fairly to the creation of\u00a0Australian stories.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cToday\u2019s commitment from the Albanese Government is the result of years of advocacy. It recognises that\u00a0Australian stories matter, and that they deserve to be seen and heard on every platform.\u201d<\/p>\n
