Our commodity exports are still mainstays of our living standards but Australia’s economy is changing. As we move through the digital age, the services sector becomes more and more important as a source of output, employment and material prosperity. For the services sector to drive steadily rising living standards for all Australians – through higher wages and rising profits – it must generate steadily improving levels of productivity or output per worker. Only a highly productive services sector can sustain high-wage jobs and profitable businesses, large and small. Productivity in agriculture and manufacturing depends a great deal on scale and technological innovation. In the services sector, productivity depends on creativity and imagination, which in turn drive innovation. Increasingly the services sector is the home of start-ups aimed at finding innovative ways to deliver new and existing services to larger numbers of clients.

SBS Submission to the Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs Inquiry Into Nationhood, National Identity and Democracy September 2019
SBS submission to the Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs Inquiry into nationhood, national identity and democracy September 2019 Key Points Independent, non-partisan public broadcasting delivers significant public benefits. SBS is key to sustaining and strengthening democracy, and building national identity. The principal function of SBS is to provide multilingual and multicultural radio, television and digital media services that inform, educate and entertain all Australians and, in doing so, reflect Australia’s multicultural society. SBS produces some of the most trusted news content in Australia, providing information and analysis from Australia and around the world in English on television and radio, and in 68 languages other than English via SBS Radio. SBS has an important role to play in reflecting and deepening our sense of nationhood and national identity, by exploring and celebrating the various communities that call Australia home through programs including its flagship dramas, entertainment programs, and documentaries. There are both social and economic benefits to a diverse and inclusive society. A recent study by Deloitte Access Economics for SBS found that improved social inclusion would mean quantifiable economic benefits to Australia of $12.7 billion per annum. While remaining an independent public broadcaster, SBS supports the fundamental elements of our democracy, including informing the Australian public in relation to the policies and actions of the Government. Informed public debate is core to the functioning of Australia’s democratic society. It is therefore critical that relevant legal frameworks are structured in a way that supports the public’s right to know, responsible journalism, and government accountability and transparency.

Australia’s toughest quiz show returns on Monday 15 February at 6pm with Season 2 finals, and a new season with new host, to premiere the following week. Viewers have been eagerly awaiting last year’s finals results after filming for the quiz show was delayed due to COVID-19. After a nail-biting season, the Mastermind Australia 2020 winner will finally be crowned after almost a year’s wait. Jennifer Byrne returns one last time as quizmaster for finals week before handing over the reins to Walkley-winning journalist, Marc Fennell, who will helm the third season from Monday 22 February. Marc, best known for The Feed (SBS) and Download This Show (ABC), is no stranger to Mastermind having jumped into the iconic quizmaster seat for a short but successful stint in 2019. Marc Fennell said: “I think Mastermind is a genuine insight into Australia’s psyche. Every one of us has that one obsession, that one thing we know and love above all things. The best part of being the quizmaster is seeing the wild diversity of obsessions and topics that the contenders bring with them. But make no mistake, it is the toughest quiz show on Australian television. I’ve been both a fill-in host and celebrity contender on Mastermind Australia, I know first-hand how intimidating it can be.
