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.

I have be living with Oral herpes for over 4 years now and it has be a big problem for me. I have been looking for solution because I can’t leave with it, One day I came across a woman testimony on a forum saying she got cured of her Herpes with the help of Dr Akhimien an herbal doctor from African with herbal medicine. At first I did not believe because I was not sure herbs can really take this virus away, but I have no choice than to give it a try and contacted him with his emails, I explain my problems,.. then he told me not to worry that he will prepare the a cure with herbal mixture and send it to me, I got the medicine after 4 days delivery and I use as instructed. After 21 days when the herb was almost finished, I went to a medical doctor, I did a test and discovered that the virus was gone, and my test results were HSV 1%2 negative, I was so surprised and happy! Then I wrote to Dr Akhimien and thanked him for getting me cured from herpes. I advice you to contact this great herbal doctor Akhimien as he have cure for different kinds of diseases.

Emily Janet

GENERAL CRYPTO RECOVERY KEYWORDS HIRE DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY

My name is Emily Janet, a 42-year-old single mother from Chicago. I’ve always been cautious with money, but last year, I decided to invest in Bitcoin after hearing success stories from friends. I bought about 5 BTC when it was around $30,000 each, thinking it would secure my family’s future. Everything was fine until one fateful day in March 2024. It started with a suspicious email that looked like it came from my crypto exchange. It warned about a security breach and urged me to reset my password via a link. In a moment of panic, I clicked it without thinking. The site looked identical to the real one, so I entered my credentials. Hours later, I logged in to check my balance—my heart sank. My entire wallet was empty. Over $200,000 gone in an instant. I felt devastated, like my world had crumbled. I reported it to the police, but they said crypto scams are hard to trace. Days turned into weeks of sleepless nights, researching recovery options online. That’s when I stumbled upon Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Their website promised ethical hacking and blockchain expertise to retrieve lost assets. Skeptical at first, I read dozens of positive reviews and decided to contact them. From the initial consultation, their team was professional and empathetic. They explained how scammers use phishing to steal private keys and assured me they had a high success rate with similar cases. The process began with a detailed analysis of my transaction history. Using advanced tools, they traced the funds to multiple wallets, some linked to known fraud rings. It wasn’t easy—blockchain is anonymous—but their experts employed forensic techniques to follow the trail. Over two months, they coordinated with exchanges and even involved legal channels to freeze suspicious accounts. I provided all necessary info, like emails and timestamps, and they kept me updated weekly. Finally, the breakthrough came: they recovered 4.2 BTC, worth about $250,000 at the time! The rest was untraceable, but I was overjoyed. Digital Tech Guard Recovery charged a fair fee only after success, no upfront payments. Their transparency and skill saved me from financial ruin. If you’ve lost crypto, don’t lose hope—reach out to them. They’re lifesavers! WhatsApp: +14438592886
