The Department of Infrastructure released a meeting brief from February 2024 documenting discussions between the Minister for the Arts and the United States Ambassador regarding proposed Australian screen content obligations on streaming services. The Government committed to introducing content requirements on streaming platforms as part of its National Cultural Policy, with target implementation by 1 July 2024. The brief indicates the meeting was requested by the U.S. Embassy to discuss the Government's regulatory model and potential implications for the Australia-U.S. Free Trade Agreement. The Department's objectives were to confirm extensive stakeholder consultation and that a regulatory decision was under consideration, while the U.S. sought to discuss its position on the content obligation.
