"It’s time to produce new ways of supporting Australian children’s screen stories, rather than giving up on them."
Almost everyone accepts that it’s time to re-visit the current C and P regulations and come up with a system that is fit for purpose – but just getting rid of them and doing nothing is not the solution either.
When Bridget Fair, the CEO of Free TV Australia, appeared before Senators on the Inquiry into Australian Content on Broadcast, Radio and Streaming Services in Sydney last week there was no deviation from the commercial broadcasters’ long held position that children’s television quotas should be scrapped.
Effective support for local children’s content is more critical than ever, argues ACTF CEO Jenny Buckland.
