To the Prime Minister: Manel Lopez is a sound technician in the film industry with over 25 years' experience. He wrote to me: 'I've reached the point where working in the industry is unsustainable. I'm at the end of my resilience. Mentally, financially, the situation has taken a huge toll on me and my family. This is happening all over the country. We need local content quotas, but we needed them five years ago. It was a promise that Labor took to the election. For many of us, it's almost too late.' Will the government make good on its repeated promises to legislate local content quotas on streamers and save these Australian jobs?
