Why does Australia refuse to protect their designers?

Australia’s flawed intellectual property laws

 So why does Australia provide Copyright laws and Intellectual property rights to artists and creative industries such as fine art, graphic design & photography yet leave product designers open to be copied?

Under the current IP laws unlike works referred to as fine art, design of objects and furniture is not entitled to copyright protection and are left vulnerable to copying. I have been one of many designers targeted by large companies ready to make money from unprotected designers here in Australia. 

Australia’s retail landscape may play a major part in the decision to keep designers unprotected.  Much of our retail in Australia is made up of replica’s. Stores like Kmart, Target, Freedom, Bunnings and Matt Blatt.

All these retailers hold an arsenal of replica rip-offs on their showroom floor so making it illegal will put these businesses in trouble. In fact, one of the biggest culprits is Westfarmers the conglomerate owning many of the offending companies employing 223,000 workers with a revenue of $68.44 Billion (2017) it’s no wonder the cries of the small Australian designers aren’t being heard.  With figures like this creating change which will affect many of these company’s bottom dollar just adds to the friction in the uphill battle the Australia design industry faces.

My journey into cryptocurrency began with optimism but ended in a nightmare. Like many others, I was lured by the promise of high returns from an elite investment platform.The website looked professional, complete with glossy dashboards and testimonials from satisfied clients.Trusting their claims,I invested $50,000 worth of Tether USDT, only to watch the platform vanish overnight along with my life savings.The platform, which mimicked legitimate exchanges like Crypto.com, initially allowed small withdrawals to build trust. But when I tried to access the bulk of my funds, excuses piled up: tax fees,verification delays, and finally, silence. Panicked, I realized I’d fallen victim to a pig-butchering scam, a scheme where fraudsters groom victims before stealing their crypto . Desperate, I scoured forums and found Washington Recovery Pro, a firm praised for tracking stolen crypto. Their testimonials stood out—like Leonadopeterson69, who recovered $250,000 in Bitcoin after a similar scam . Skeptical but hopeful, I contacted them.From the very first interaction, their professionalism stood out. They took time to understand my case, carefully analyzed the wallet trails, and began tracing the movement of my lost Tether coins. Their expertise in blockchain forensics and cyber investigation was beyond impressive.After weeks of relentless effort, they recovered 90% of my USDT. The remaining 10% was lost to mixer services, but their success far exceeded my expectations.Thanks to Washington Recovery Pro for saving me from financial ruin… Contact Handle Via

I never imagined I’d be writing this story. For months, I carried the heavy weight of regret, shame, and financial devastation after falling victim to an online crypto scam. I had invested my hard-earned Bitcoin, worth around $523,000, into a platform that promised high returns and constant growth. At first, everything looked like real slick websites, convincing dashboards, and even a so-called account manager who reassured me at every step. But when it came time to withdraw my funds, everything changed. My requests were ignored, excuses piled up, and eventually, I was completely locked out of my account, I was devastated. Not only was I staring at a massive financial loss, but I also felt ashamed for being deceived. Friends and even family members didn’t quite understand how sophisticated these scams can be. I thought I had lost everything until I discovered Dexdert Net Recovery. At first, I was skeptical. The internet is full of fake recovery services that promise miracles but deliver nothing. But after researching their track record and reading real testimonials, I decided to take a chance. From the very first consultation, the team at Dexdert Net Recovery treated me with respect, empathy, and professionalism. What impressed me most was how transparent they were. I received constant updates about the progress and explanations I could actually understand. Weeks later, something I never thought possible happened. Dexdert Net Recovery successfully reclaimed my stolen Bitcoin. The moment I saw the recovered funds safely back in my wallet, I broke down in tears of relief. After months of hopelessness, I finally had my money back: $523,000 worth of Bitcoin that I thought was gone forever. I can honestly say that Dexdert Net Recovery gave me a second chance. Without Dexdert Net Recovery, I would still be living with regret and financial ruin. They turned what seemed like an impossible situation into a story of justice and recovery.
