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.

This thing about scam is really not being given enough attention as it should. I was the victim of an investment scam just a months ago and I lost everything, down to my last penny. I met the scammer on a dating site and they made me invest my last dime on a scam exchange, that’s how everything vanished. well not until my colleague introduced me to this hacker who helped her with a similar issue and he helped me recover everything that was scammed from me, and he submitted the scammers information to the authorities, just a few months later I heard they were arrested in 2 countries. I recommend anyone who has similar issue to try them, nobody deserve to lose their life savings. this is their contact below. Text (262) 249-6881

I live in Canada, I have to give this miraculous testimony, which is so unbelievable until now. I had a problem with my Ex wife 2 years ago, which lead to our break up. I was not myself again, i felt so empty inside me, my love and financial situation became worst, until a close friend of mine told me about a spell caster who helped him in the same problem too her name is Doctor Angelina. I emailed the spell caster and i told her my problem and i did what she asked of me, to cut the long story short. Before i knew what was happening , less than two days my husband gave me a call and told me that he was coming back to me i was so happy to have him back to me. The most interesting part of the story is that we are having a baby. Thanks to Doctor Angelina for saving my marriage and for also saving others own too. Continue your good work Dr Angelina..
