Australian actor and producer Bryan Brown warns not making streaming services invest 20 per cent of the money they make in Australia back into the production of local content could lead to 'cultural death'.

abc.net.au/news/bryan-brown-national-press-club-of-australia-address/102592002Australian actor and producer Bryan Brown AM has used his National Press Club address to call for an Australian content quota at streaming services that run their businesses locally.that major streaming services such as Netflix, Disney and Amazon Prime would be required to invest revenue in the production of local content from mid-2024.

Brown posed a rhetorical question about why Australians knew so much about other countries, pointing out that countries such as the United States exported their art around the world, strengthening their national identity. He said the idea was to bring the Australian offset in line with the US one at 30 per cent, encouraging Hollywood movies to be filmed in Australia.

"Every five years we have to come down here, knock on the door of a prime minister and go, 'Hey, it is the arts,'" he said.
