"That's why our investment in European programming, including Netflix original titles created in Europe, is growing. "Our members around the world love European programming," a Netflix spokesperson said. While Netflix would not comment on the possibility of such regulation in Australia, it said the proposed EU policy wouldn't help European production. Presto, a joint venture between Seven West Media and Foxtel, is also producing local content exclusively for its platform, including Home & Away: An Eye for an Eye.
Stan, which is 50-50 owned by Nine and Fairfax Media, publisher of The Australian Financial Review, has commissioned a number of local productions including No Activity and Wolf Creek. The ABC and SPA have previously called for the government to consider making Netflix, Google and other digital video services contribute to a new digital content fund. "The participation of local commercial and public broadcasters to local production remains critical but now is the time to create a level regulatory playing field that ensures responsible and fair engagement from both local and international businesses with our sector and Australian audiences." "It's time they step up to the plate and contribute to new Australian film and television production. "These are big, disruptive, successful businesses that have had time to expand in this market without making any significant investment in local production," Mr Deaner told Fairfax Media. SPA chief executive Matthew Deaner said Australian policymakers should enact similar regulations.
