The government response to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's digital platforms inquiry included a staged process to reform media regulation towards an end state of a platform-neutral regulatory framework covering online and offline delivery of media content to consumers. An options paper authored by Screen Australia and the Australian Communications and Media Authority to consider how best to support Australian stories on screens in a modern, multiplatform environment is open for consultation until 3 July this year. The government will consider stakeholder responses, including the extent of Australian content obligations on free-to-air television and whether there should be an Australian content obligation on streaming on demand services.

Question agreed to.
