MODERATORS
I agree, but on one condition: all that "mandatory" local content should be created with local Australian equipment. Australian cameras, Australian cars, Australian software...
Maybe a few more conditions, mainly towards scripted content, so we don’t just end up with a glut of locally produced game shows, reality TV and panel shows.
We are more than capable of producing world-class content, even if my sleep-deprived parent brain can only think of The Wiggles and Blue right now..
Elly & jools, round the twist, ship to shore, girl from tomorrow, damnation of Harvey mchugh, stingers, fire, theres a reason why i'm going mostly 90's when we had content laws in place...
I will admit that I don’t know of about half of those shows, but: Round the Twist!!! Thanks for unlocking that memory 😁
Might as well add Lift-Off, The Ferals and Feral TV, along with Blinky Bill. Clearly we were spoilt for choice in the ‘90s..
As an aside, it does feel like the local music industry has gone much the same way?
I think the JJJ hottest australian kinda dispelled that, lotta recent stuff in there - some of which I didn't realise was aussie, like Shooting Stars.
And no reality tv
Australian software and cameras shouldn't be that hard with Blackmagic Design being from Straya
I somehow didn't know blackmagic was from there, explains why they're so cool I guess. And you guys also have Rode for the sound.
When possible ….
I wouldn’t want to limit Australian content production because the production company is using some cheap Chinese cameras for example.
