Streaming services have transformed the way we watch TV with 16 million Australians now accessing these platforms. But the giants Netflix, Amazon and Disney are all US companies with mostly US shows.   Last month the Australian government put out a proposal to force these streaming services to spend a certain percentage of their Australian revenue on Australian content.

We’re joined by Aussie actor, writer, and presenter Matt Okine, and the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance.   In today's headlines: NSW officer who let German travellers skip quarantine won’t be punished Fraser Island residents told to leave immediately New laws strengthen protections for casuals US breaks new Covid-19 records following Thanksgiving   Follow The Briefing Instagram: @thebriefingpodcast  Facebook: TheBriefingNewsAU Twitter: @TheBriefingAU    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
