The Australian Writers Guild is calling on everyone working in the Australian TV and film industries to speak with one voice to protect Australian stories amidst the explosion of online streaming services such as Netflix.
President of AWG Jan Sardi says that while the expansion of digital streaming services in Australia is good for consumers of TV drama and comedy, it also means a further splintering of local audiences across multiple platforms - free-to-air broadcast, subscription television and the Internet - and has important implications for the local film and TV industry.
