It doesn’t have to be like this.

Twenty years.

That's how long we've had the FTA.

It's also how long we had to extend our copyright term by.

Memo to the Yanks: we have a say too.

Here's to 2025, everybody!

In most countries, copyright works enter the public domain on January 1st, either 50 or 70 years after the year of their authors' death. Since Australia shifted from +50 to (mostly) +70 in the mid 2000s, we're in a 20 year transition period. Just one more year to go!

"Whistleblower protection laws failed to protect David McBride. This sentence sends a chilling message to all potential whistleblowers in the country."
