James Ashby says One Nation will not remove satirical video
of Robert Irwin despite legal threat

Pauline Hanson is ignoring a legal threat to remove a One Nation cartoon featuring Robert Irwin which the celebrity figure claims is defamatory.

One Nation published a two-minute video on Friday called 'The State of Queensland' which used Robert Irwin and popular children's character Bluey to mock the state government over perceived failings ahead of the election in October.

Mr Irwin has threatened to sue for defamation over the clip, which One Nation described as "tongue-in-cheek" and features Irwin's misadventures with Bluey through Queensland.

In the video, their car is stolen by "juvenile delinquents" before Bluey falls into a giant pothole on the Bruce Highway.

"Oh no!" Mr Irwin's character exclaims.

"Lucky the state of Queensland's got a world-class medical system."

Another character then laments there's a six-month wait for treatment.
'Unauthorised and deceptive'

Mr Irwin and Bluey have featured prominently in a recent Queensland government tourism campaign to lure visitors to the state.

The legal letter from Sunshine Coast lawyer Zoe Naylor accused the video's producers of "unauthorised and deceptive use of our client's image".

"We demand that you remove this video," the letter states.

It appeals to stupid people, that's why you like it. Besides, it is irrelevant if it's true or not. She simply should not be using his name without his permission. How'd you like it if Dan the man used your name to push his agenda?

Don't bullshit me goober. You cry every time dan says something that doesn't involve you, image the hysteria from you if he used your name. :D

Come on Smith - you troll -

you watched that video and you laughed too.  ::)

It's satire.  Robert Irwin shouldn't take himself so seriously ... especially when Albo is the usual topic in those videos. 

I wonder how he reacted to the scammed photo of him being "arrested" by police?  Now that would have been a legitimate grievance. 

Anyone and everyone in public life has to learn to deal with these things.

Comedians do it all of the time you dickhead espcecially being a cartoon.

The question that needs to be asked is how much tax payers dollars did this Irwin character get for his propaganda ??

Another video making a comment:

Robert Irwin threatens to sue One Nation leader Pauline Hanson for defamation.

The conservationist claims he was mocked in the latest episode of Hanson's 'Please Explain' cartoon series.

Mr Irwin's lawyers have demanded the animation studio remove the video immediately.

Irwin's Lawyer is wasting her dick head time (she is an immigration lawyer, and a Yank) with defamation.  She'd do better if she did some research on passing off.

Seems the Lawyer did refer to passing off  which is a fertile ground.  Defamation is not.

“You are potentially liable to our client in respect of defamation, deceptive use of a person’s image, passing off and misleading and deceptive conduct. We will commence legal action against you if you do not take down the video immediately.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passing_off


Passing off is a common law tort which can be used to enforce unregistered trade mark rights. The tort of passing off protects the goodwill of a trader from misrepresentation.

The law of passing off prevents one trader from misrepresenting goods or services as being the goods and services of another, and also prevents a trader from holding out his or her goods or services as having some association or connection with another when this is not true.

Irwin is a sad little soft cock whose only claim to fame is having a father who was a Darwin Award candidate. In any case the cartoon is true so it can't be defamation.

Good on him.

Take her to the cleaners.

Pauline was passing off that the Pluto Pup and hot-dog was cooked in Irwin's fish-n-chips. All profits go to her.

If Robert just let it slide, he would have had a lot of support from the Australian public. But, to threaten to sue the producers of that short cartoon, Robert will be labelled a whinger. He should have laughed it off and, at worst, mentioned that he should have been asked if the producers could use him in a parody.

You cannot handle being called a "troll" without you responding with photos of a guy holding up a crucifix.

He went in too hard, but it's understandable why.

Anything that creates the illusion that he's associated with, and supports, Pauline Hanson and her party of attention-whore lunatics is a major cause for concern.

He probably should have first approached Hanson through their respective media teams, rather than go straight to the lawyers.

Anyway, fingers crossed that this ends badly for the brain-dead red-headed witch.

Evil POS that she is.

Pauline is a buggerwit, used by smarter people who get on her gravy train.  There have been quite a few, like...David Ettridge, David Oldfield, John Pasquarelli, Steve Dickson and the Slipper love match, James Ashby.  It will be Ashby behind the initial use of Irwin and the current handling of it.  Ashby is not dumb.  He is capable of having planned this from goah to Irwin's outburst, and of course it was the reaction which gave something I would have known nothing about, significant media coverage, and Hanson is coming out smelling like roses.  Irwin, whose brand has been passed off, is being made to look precious and petulant for doing doing other than protecting that brand which (and I hate saying it) is worth dollars. 

As soon as he got the letter from Irwin's Lawyer, Ashby's eyes would have lit up and he would have been straight onto the phone to the Media.

I wonder what the Bluey creator/ABC have done?

Voila.  QED.  Short term win to One Nation, Hanson and Ashby.

It's not about heckling.

It's about associating his brand - a well known, family friendly brand - with a far-right, extremist political party.

Kind of weird that they mention rental in Rockhampton. People are buying houses at reasonable prices around town here. Rental is low because there is not a great demand for housing, like there was 15 years ago.

Public Statement.
I, Bluey Heeler, am not and never was, a member of P Hanson Party. Robert Irwin has no financial or executive privilege over me, the ABC or the Bluey pups. I vote Animal Rights or what's left of them. Being a cartoon is no joke.

Jun 17, 2024

Stepmates Studios’ Mark Nicholson says the Pauline Hanson ‘Please Explain’ cartoons
have people “questioning” whether things they talk about in the cartoon “were real”.
“It’s been awesome,” Mr Nicholson told Sky News Australia host Chris Kenny.
“People are actually … questioning whether the things that we talk about in the cartoon were real.
“There’s some real problems in Queensland, and that’s what people are hammering.”


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C3IaOxyWow

Breaking News:
Robert Irwin has been arrested for being a cry baby,
bed wetter over a satirical cartoon. Pauline is not budging, cry harder! 🤣🤣
Note: In case you do not know.....young witless Irwin is suing Pauline Hanson
for including him in her "please explain" cartoon.
Shame he has NO sense of humour...

Quote:

Before the election campaign, Pauline Pantsdown was Simon Hunt, a lecturer in sound and film at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney. He was so affronted by Mrs Hanson's attacks on Asian immigration and welfare spending on Aborigines that he decided to take her on. His technique was satire, his ammunition Mrs Hanson's own words. Using her statements and some literary licence, he created a song called "I'm a Backdoor Man". It quickly became the most requested song on JJJ, the youth network of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). Mrs Hanson, leader of the One Nation party, did not like it. She took out an injunction to stop the ABC playing it. Yesterday the Supreme Court in Brisbane dismissed the ABC's appeal.

Quote:

On X, Hanson doubled down on her position regarding the video, saying she would not take it down. “I will not be removing the latest episode of Pauline Hanson’s Please Explain,” she said. “I look forward to the day when Robert and I can have a good laugh over this and turn our focus to making Queensland a better state.” Despite Hanson telling Irwin to “lighten up”, during the 1990s the One Nation senator famously took legal action to stop Triple J playing a satirical song about her created by the drag character Pauline Pantsdown.

She could do that by moving to another state.

Was actually discussing the sad site of Australia Zoo and concerns for its soon collapse and wondered out loud how the government will find away to prop up the failed private business venture without just giving them money as they did for dreamworld theme park.

It's great to see the Queensland government being more clever in giving away taxpayer money than they were in the dreamworld debacle.

Pay it in wages and claim it's private!

Good work giggles, you idiot!

Everything in Queensland ( if not the country) is propped up by taxpayers.

Have you not noticed?

Particular the tourism industry.
Do you see any tourism operation handing out money for the advertising?

Of course not, that's what our taxes are for!

FD has always had the belief that I am not a retired Lawyer, still a Lawyer, so he is being consistent in that claim.

I hope he sues me for passing off as being a Lawyer.

He won't because he is full of it, and lacks the capacity to cough up when the time comes and he is shown to be what a flawed judgemental cock head he is.

So, sue me for passing off.

So no-one is passing off. Aussie isn't because he gets no benefit for his professional advice. He gets a benefit by proving he's not passing off. Pauline, Robert and Bluey get nothing for passing off. Aussie drinks VB and gets passed.

Point is...Ashby and Pauline are getting a benefit by passing off that Irwin is part of their politically critical mob.

ehh?
'One Nation published a two-minute video on Friday called 'The State of Queensland' which used Robert Irwin and popular children's character Bluey to mock the state government over perceived failings ahead of the election in October.

Mr Irwin has threatened to sue for defamation over the clip, which One Nation described as "tongue-in-cheek" and features Irwin's misadventures with Bluey through Queensland.'

Everytime the law is mentioned you show how utterly clueless you are You had no idea that as a dog owner you have a legal responsibility to secure your dog. You had no idea that any fruit hanging over your fence line free for all. And now it seems you have no idea that one cannot pass themselves off as someone else.

It can be.  Why don't you post on my business Web sites pretending to be me, we'll find out.

Sue me.  The award, plus full indemnity costs, would pay for my VB requirements until I die, but I'll bet you have zero capacity to meet the judgement. Sue for what, passing youself off as a lawyer or for being a humourless old clodhopper? FD has always had the belief that I am not a retired Lawyer, still a Lawyer, so he is being consistent in that claim. I hope he sues me for passing off as being a Lawyer. He won't because he is full of it, and lacks the capacity to cough up when the time comes and he is shown to be what a flawed judgemental cock head he is. I don't think you are a retired lawyer either. Your mind is too clumsy and crude for it. So, sue me for passing off.

You are too thick to be sued.

Your thickness is not an offense, it's merely offensive, like excessive stupidity is offensive.
You are an offense to good taste, manners, decorum.

If it is illegal to impersonate people, does that mean it is is illegal for comedians to impersonate people?

impersonate
verb
pretend to be (another person) for entertainment or fraud.
"it's a very serious offence to impersonate a police officer."

Was Pauline pretending to be Robert? Was Bluey pretending to be Pauline?  Who pretends the Bruce Highway has pot-holes?

We do all understand that little Irwin's comments came from his manager?

His simply creating news about himself as tbf, that's his job.

Obviously he was never going to sue .  The plan is to feed gossip sites with the story and pictures of himself for at least three months.

Again, as he should as that is his job.

Little Bob's manager is happy, what ever tv station his on is happy, the family business is happy, Pauline is happy the Qld tourism board would be delighted.

This little outrage has generated more publicly than the actual ads!

This is how the media and entertainment personalities can afford very nice things

All of it negative for Irwin/Australia Zoo, and all positive for Hanson, Ashby and One Nation.

Irwin did not take this to the Media, Ashby did as PHONs spin doctor and a PHON endorsed candidate in the coming Qld election.

"Despite threatening legal action over his depiction in Pauline Hanson’s Please Explain cartoon series, Robert Irwin previously spoke about the importance of “laughing at yourself”.

Irwin’s comments made barely two years ago in a 2022 One Plus One interview with the ABC was revealed when the clip was played by entertainment reporter Peter Ford on The Morning Show on Tuesday."

...

“It’s being able to laugh at yourself, it’s being able to go ‘that’s the fluff’ and the opinionated stuff — people will always have their point of view,” Irwin said, during the interview.

You can't be Sirius?

There is 1 PHON in NSW, 1 in Qld, 2 in Fed. Bluey holds the ABC seat.

All I have to say here is...

... if Robert Irwin hasn't heard about the Streisand effect I'm pretty sure he knows all about it now.

The Streisand effect is an unintended consequence of attempts to hide, remove, or censor information, where the effort instead increases public awareness of the information.

You say he made a claim when he asked a question about a claim made by you. Then you say he made a claim, which was a question, that you now acknowledge was a question. There comes a time when you just have to admit you stuffed up. You're well passed it.

Sometimes a question is more than just a question.  He introduced the scenario so it's his claim.  I've already dealt with it but he ran away from that as well.

It's not a claim John. It's a question. One you keep tapdancing around. Why is this so confusing for you? It's not even a difficult question, unless it is as hard for you to figure out what is going on in your head as it is for anyone else to get a straight answer out of you.

It was a perfectly legit question to your claim that it was illegal to impersonate someone, we all know it's not except in some real life situations like impersonating a cop. You can still do that in comedy though.

You made a statement and you were wrong, just wear it and perhaps use better wording next time.

Who's the redhead who talks like Pauline? How much will Barnaby the Beetroot sue her for?

John is so predictable. Says one stupid thing, then spends 10 pages trying to lie his way out of it and tapdance around it.

At least the dog is true blue.

Never mind any context ehh fd.  :D

Like I said earlier , I should have known you would take it to stupid.  It's your speciality.

It's illegal to impersonate someone.

(except comedians). Politicians who make ironic comments about the opposition are illegal.

Smith is not the brightest candle on the cake.

Says the forum’s biggest idiot.

There’s nothing more Aussie than tall poppy syndrome  ;D
A lot of our pollies laugh it off… tonight Dutton says about so many memes about him that the last one was actually a compliment…(I forgot which one)

But Irwin is more Americanised I feel… and Americans can’t take shyte stirring critique too well…

It’s okay Robert… it’s tall poppy syndrome…comes free with fame and fortune.

...**enter Smith, stage left, tap-dancing all the way**

"I knew yez were all stupid...."   **tap dances off....

This is not tall poppy syndrome. This is the retarded right crying victim again and blaming the victim.  Which is why crappler loves it so much

Grapply just impersonated John Smith. Lawyers are rubbing hands together, Pauline has changed hair colour and joined Walt Disney.

He's a dual citizen of Australia and the US.  But yes, I agree he is probably more Americanised due to his mother.  I'm pretty sure if Steve Irwin was still around we probably wouldn't be having this conversation.

I'll bet you we would be.  He was also a very precious puppy, rightfully protective of his 'brand.'

I'll bet anyone this whole thing has now been settled and the terms are confidential, and Hanson/Ashby have agreed not to rip off the Irwin name/brand again.

I trust the brand owners of Bluey have also done the same.

How exactly is Hanson: Irwin different from a newspaper cartoon which demolishes the political reputation of a PM?  (Implied free speech in constitution). Is the Bluey shape a registered trade-mark?

I'd say so, but it does not matter when there is a passing off afoot.

It depends on whether you (or your internet lawyer) has a sense of humour.

Humour is humour whether political or not.

A foot you say? Where does Pauline claim she is Robert? Or Bluey?  Robert only says what he in fact says, the situation makes the irony for the observer.
