The Albanese government has committed to legislating a prominence framework. This framework would shape the way that TV applications and/or content are presented to Australians and ensure that local TV services can be easily found on connected devices so they can continue to contribute to Australian public and cultural life. It's important to me, as co-chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Australian Children's Storytelling, and to many others that Australian children are presented with Australian children's content. We aren't the only ones who are loving Australian content. Barrumbi Kids has just been awarded the top prize at the largest annual festival of children's screen content in the whole world, the 40th Chicago International Children's Film Festival. Barrumbi Kidsproduced by Danielle MacLean of the Darwin based production company Tamarind Tree Pictures, by Monica O'Brien of Ambience Entertainment and by independent producer Julia Morris—is based on the popular book series by Territory author Leonie Norrington and has premiered on NITV and Netflix. Massive congratulations to the whole Barrumbi Kids creative team, cast and crew. This is what Australian creatives are capable of, so let's give them a fighting chance.
