摘要：The recent Productivity Commission inquiry into Broadcasting in Australia has acknowledged the important place of Indigenous production in the national mediascape. The inquiry's draft report recommended changes to the Broadcasting Services Act which lake into account some aspects of the kind of cultural production going on now in the Indigenous media sector across Australia. However, while there have been some significant changes suggested, acknowledgement of the broader cultural importance of the sector and its potential remain unaddressed. Acknowledgement of the special place of Indigenous languages and cultures in the Broadcasting Services Act, for example. remains elusive to national policy-makers.
