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.

How I Healed from Herpes Simplex Virus with Holistic Herbal Remedies
The greatest joy in my life today is that I have been completely healed from Herpes, thanks to holistic herbal remedies.
In 2023, I was diagnosed with the Herpes Simplex Virus. I visited numerous hospitals seeking a cure, but nothing worked. I felt hopeless and frustrated, wondering if I would ever find a solution. Then, one day while browsing the internet, I came across a testimonial about how holistic herbal remedies had helped others heal from Herpes and various other diseases.
Intrigued, I reached out to the person who had shared their experience and contacted the herbalist via WhatsApp. He assured me that he could prepare a special herbal medicine for my condition. Two weeks later, after following his guidance and taking the herbal remedy, my Herpes symptoms had completely vanished.
Holistic herbal remedies are widely recognized for their effectiveness, and I want to share this hope with others. If you’re suffering from Herpes or any other similar health issue, know that there is a cure. The herbal medicine has no side effects, and there is no special diet required during treatment.
In addition to Herpes, the herbalist also helps cure a range of conditions, including ALS, cancer, HPV, diabetes, and more.

I hope this review gets to as many as possible because I am sure it will save many. March 15, I got a message on Telegram inviting me to join a Crypto investment group. At first, I thought it was a harmless invitation. I joined and began to see how a specific crypto and forex trader was helping many people and even gifting out Bitcoin to his loyal followers. I was thrilled; a lot of people in the group were reporting their daily successes and how they were earning massively. I was jealous; I saw people making a lot of money, but not me. I became furious and decided to contact the group’s admin, not realizing I had fallen for their trap. That Telegram channel was a hoax, controlled by an organized team of scammers. Within 3 months of being on that platform, I had given out a whopping 11 Bitcoin in total. I was lost when I was logged out of the investment website and blocked from accessing their Telegram channel. I tried all the means I could think of at that moment, all to no avail. It went from days to weeks, and I still couldn’t get back my lost Bitcoin. I was on Medium when I came across a review about digital assets recovery companies. There were quite a few of them, but DuneNectarOnlineExpert caught my attention. I copied their email ( Support @ Dunenectaronlineexpert . Com ), filed a report, and my task was attended to with utmost urgency. After back and forth with this team of cybersecurity experts, DuneNectarOnlineExpert successfully traced the Bitcoin to the scammers’ wallet, and it was successfully reclaimed. The team of DuneNectarOnlineExpert was incredibly helpful in recovering my lost Bitcoin. Telegram: T.me/Dunenectarwebexpert
