Australian creators deserve fair pay. Performers, musicians, actors, journalists, voice artists and technicians create the stories, music and content that enrich our lives. Yet too often they're paid once, while their work continues generating profits through broadcasting, streaming and AI. We're calling on the government to give creators control over how their work is used and legislate fair pay for creative work to ensure creators are compensated when their work creates value.
