Abstract

The Australian Broadband Advisory Council (ABAC) released a position paper on the future of Creative Industry in March 2022, as part of series of papers formed by various industry expert working groups. The purpose of the Creative Industry position paper was to provide advice and recommendations to the Minister for Communications on ways to maximise the benefits of the National Broadband Network (NBN) and other high-speed networks in key sectors of the economy. This article outlines the key findings of the position paper and discusses briefly other key global and local activities since the publication of the position paper that are of note, such as Covid-19, the 2023 writers’ strike and the concerns around AI technology deployment in the Creative Industry.
