I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

(i) streaming 'video on demand' services have no Australian content obligations requiring them to produce or show Australian-made TV shows, documentaries or films, despite having an increasing market share,

(ii) research shows two thirds of Australians support laws requiring streaming services to show and fund locally made shows and films, and

(iii) Australian stories are vital for our culture and social fabric and the sustainability of our arts and entertainment industry; and

(b) calls on the Federal Government to require tech giants like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV and Stan to back and fund Australian-made stories.
