Illustration for Copyright Act 1994

You have rights under subparts 2 to 4, but these rights are not broken if someone does something for a parliamentary or judicial proceeding, or to report on one. This means you can use copyrighted material for these purposes without infringing on the rights. You can find more information about these subparts by looking at the link to subparts 2 to 4.
