Are you sure about that John?

She shouldn't be using his name to flog her stupidity without his permission

Shut up - it's very funny but true.

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?

If it's based on the truth then you can't defame someone and it kind of rings a bell don't you think Cheesy

LOL

who said anything about defaming someone? It's illegal to impersonate someone. I don't care how many bells ring in your head

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.

There you see -

proper legal advice from a real lawyer.

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.

In any case the cartoon is true so it can't be defamation.

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.

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

fu

ckwit, 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.

No, YOU are the halfwit who left school at 15. Just look at what is SUPPOSED to be the Environment board and that becomes pretty bloody obvious!
