Photographers' Rights in Australia - Street Photography Legal Issues
The following article by Andrew Nemeth BSc (Hons) LLB, is a detailed analysis of the legal issues surrounding street photography in NSW Australia. It's written from a photographer's perspective, and the emphasis is on what rights shooters have (and don't have) when it comes to candid photographs of people. In particular: "privacy", "rights", "consent", "trade practices", "copyright", "offensive behaviour", and even the attempt by some local councils to ban "unauthorised photography" outright.
