This is part of a report from 'The Australian' online on Friday 23 October.

The remainder, which I haven't included due to what AFF says is copyright restrictions, is somewhat more optimistic... link to thread.
 
The remainder, which I haven't included due to what AFF says is copyright restrictions, is somewhat more optimistic, with Chairman Richard Goyder (marooned in Perth) suggesting that Korea, Taiwan and the Pacific Islands 'could be top travel destinations' if the much talked about 'travel bubbles' became a fact:

Fair enough, but while you won't see it as a justification, publishers rarely if ever initiate civil claims in courts in Australia to enforce.

This law must be broken thousands of times a week in Oz.

I for one would hate for AFF to be the test case.

I'll comply in future, but publishers have far bigger fish to fry, such as convincing (via ACCC or govt generally) Google and Facebook to cough up for content.

I'm confused. Has this thread been created by chopping posts from another? What's the context?

Yes.
Believe was caused by a poster posting an entire (or at least the majority) of an article behind a paywall
