Unclear future for Aust TV shows: Inquiry

The future of Australian-made television is being compromised by "unfair" video streaming, says the head of Victoria's state-run film agency.

It's unclear what platform will screen local productions, if at all, into the future, Film Victoria President Ian Robertson told the federal Australian Film and Television Industry inquiry.

"The playing field is simply not level...that is going to be a major problem if we want to see Australian content on Australian free-to-air television," he told the inquiry in Melbourne on Wednesday.
