This works really well in Canada. We call it “CanCon”, and there is a LOT of great Canadian artists and talent that would otherwise languish if we didn’t stick up for the local scene

What is the best Australian TV made in the last 20 years?
FireWire400@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I’d say Mr. Inbetween, although I know literally nothing about Aussie TV beyond that show
DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Agree, great show!

Bluey. Not even kidding, this is a TV show all about Australia and Australian culture disguised as a kids show. Sample episodes to watch: “Cricket”, “Stumpfest”, “The Decider”. There - that’s 20 minutes of TV that you can watch with or without kids and have a great time.
My wife loves the Phryne Fisher murder mysteries. She’s read every book multiple times and likes the TV adaptation.

Fisk seems to win all the awards.
IMHO, Australian Survivor is killing it. Better than the US version.

Alone Australia is so much better than any other “survival” reality shows. Not even in the same league.

I agree, but on one condition: all that “mandatory” local content should be created with local Australian equipment. Australian cameras, Australian cars, Australian software…

Maybe a few more conditions, mainly towards scripted content, so we don’t just end up with a glut of locally produced game shows, reality TV and panel shows.
We are more than capable of producing world-class content, even if my sleep-deprived parent brain can only think of The Wiggles and Blue right now…

Elly & jools, round the twist, ship to shore, girl from tomorrow, damnation of Harvey mchugh, stingers, fire, theres a reason why i’m going mostly 90’s when we had content laws in place…

And no reality tv

When possible ….
I wouldn’t want to limit Australian content production because the production company is using some cheap Chinese cameras for example.

Australian software and cameras shouldn’t be that hard with Blackmagic Design being from Straya

I somehow didn’t know blackmagic was from there, explains why they’re so cool I guess. And you guys also have Rode for the sound.
