Guess what no permit you cant sell what is your property. If you do sell it you will fined.

This isn't just a commercial photographer issue.

I'm sure that in the case of an amateur photographer who just happens to get the money shot by chance or even by planning would be able to approach the land owners and apply for the whatever to be able to sell the image.

No problem.

This is not the case with commercial photographers, they plan to be in the environment they are shooting. Why should it not be the same as an artists muse that has to be paid for?

Those that earn any money in any form of profession pay tax, a commercial photographer is not exempt from the Taxation Laws of this country, then the payment is made from the proceeds of the venture through taxation.

Most National Parks have entry fees that are to cover some of the costs in maintaining these environments, the rest comes from the taxes paid by every Australian, mother nature looks after the rest.

How many times do we need to be taxed????

This is a Democratic country we have a right to stand up and protest in what you believe in.

I can't help it if your opinion is based on fears that someone will profit from something they do well, like I said before where there is profit there is TAXATION...

So what you are saying is that as a taxpayer but not a professional photographer, my use of national parks should be effectively more expensive than a professional photographers use of the same national park?

Your on the money, problem is that what you think is "no problem" hasn’t been happening. Hence the strong reaction that intern has created a protest.

A protest that has been manipulated to exceed the understanding of most of its supporters.

How do you defecate between a armature and a professional photographer?
More so since professional photospheres have not had the sort of history that would give them a glow of honesty and integrity.

And thank god for that.
But make sure you know exactly what you are protesting for first.

Where the sale of images in any form, forms a regular part of ones income.

1. Strip out the armature from a generator and place it to your left.

2. Get a professional photographer to stand on your right.

3. Drop your pants, squat and push.


Hope this helps.

Garbage is it? go have a look at that some want as a result from this protest and then decide if its what you want in Australia?

see if its garbage or not, or just be dragged around by your blind nose

if you guys think this about paying to take a photo in a national park, then fool you!
