Australian actors Cate Blanchett, Sir Sam Neill, Rose Byrne, Joel Edgerton, Deborah Mailman and Richard Roxburgh have penned an open letter, under the banner of Make It Australian, calling on the nation’s parliamentarians to protect the local screen industry amid fears that the Turnbull Government is planning to slash the local content quotas for television drama and children's television.

The ongoing campaign is spearheaded by the Australian Directors' Guild, the Australian Writers' Guild, the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance and Screen Producers Australia.
