“The arts keep our culture strong.”
- Extending Same Job, Same Pay and Closing the Loopholes protections: I support fair pay and secure conditions for all workers, including those in the creative and media industries, who often face insecure and precarious work arrangements. I will advocate for extending these protections to ensure creative professionals are not left behind.
- Mandating local content quotas for streaming services: I believe Australians deserve to see their own stories and voices reflected on our screens. I support local content quotas for streaming platforms to foster Australian storytelling and safeguard our cultural heritage.
- Investing in public interest journalism and restoring ABC/SBS funding: Independent, well-funded public broadcasters and robust journalism are cornerstones of a healthy democracy. I will push for the restoration of ABC and SBS funding in real terms and greater investment in public interest journalism.
- Protecting First Nations intellectual and cultural rights: Embedding these protections in law is essential for truth-telling, reconciliation, and respecting the unique contributions of First Nations creators.
- Guaranteeing freedom from political interference: I am committed to upholding the independence of our media and creative sectors, free from political or commercial interference.
- Regulating AI for creative and media workers: As technology evolves, it’s vital we ensure creative professionals have control, compensation, and consent regarding the use of their work by AI.
