Green hypocrisy

This is the billboard released by the Sensible Sentencing Trust, highlighting how a Green MP has been advocating abolishing the Police (and prisons!). The Greens complained that the billboard was a breach of copyright.

So the SST replaced the copyrighted photo with this one, to comply.

But what I wanted to highlight is the hypocrisy.

The Greens have a bill before Parliament that explicitly seeks to legalise the use of copyrighted material if it is for “the purpose of parody or satire”.

So the Greens want people to be able to use copyrighted material for the purposes of parody (a stance I agree with), but the moment they are the subjects of the parody, they wail and say it shouldn’t be allowed.
