Calls for the Government to force streaming giants to invest in New Zealand content as local productions struggle.  

The Screen Producers' Association says Netflix, Disney, Apple and Amazon should be forced to commission local programmes or pay into a fund from their local revenue  

President Irene Gardiner says declining ad revenue means TVNZ and Three have cut local productions by $50 million dollars, and Kiwis are missing out on their own stories.  

She told Andrew Dickens that streaming services have completely broken the traditional business model, so they’re looking to them to be part of the solution. 

Gardiner says they’re not asking for charity, just fairness and a level playing ground.
