On Monday 24th November 2025, I made a speech supporting the Communications Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
Transcript:
The Greens have long campaigned for local-content quotas on streaming platforms. Big tech companies like Netflix and Amazon, who make massive profits from Australians, should be required to have Australian content that gives back to the Australian economy and contributes to a stable, thriving local screen industry. Australians deserve to have ourselves, our community and our stories reflected on our screens. It helps us make sense of who we are. It's even more important that these stories are told in our kids' content. Generations have grown up on shows like Play School, Round the Twist, which was a favourite for my kids—was that really last century?—and Bluey. Our kids deserve better than a diet of generic American cartoons. They need to hear stories told about our community too. The Greens will support this bill in the House and reserve our position in the Senate.
