Gillard climate assembly policy
I posted this earlier, but you might find it more easily here if you need it for future reference. I hope it provides useful background information:

A contributor to the article Australian Prime Minister accused of poor leadership on climate change found a quote attributed to you (Matthew Tukaki) as supporting Gillard's policy at a site called Dynamic Business:


 * http://www.dynamicbusiness.com.au/articles/articles-news/julia-gillard-climate-change-policy-1838.html

That person added an excerpt from it to the draft Wikinews article while it was in development, and incorrectly described your affiliation with Drake.

Our article has now been blanked for reasons unrelated to your quote, but it won't be restored unless it is largely rewritten by a volunteer.

(Articles are developed and reviewed in public on this website, so other websites can quickly syndicate our errors as well as our successes. CRWE Newswire seems to indiscriminately collect content from across the web, including Wikinews, without attributing it.)

 * Wikinews is syndicated through Google News, hence the CRWE duplication. Unfortunately, they don't seem to fully understand copyright - they have also copied from Al Jazeera. As you've probably experienced, a very large percentage of Internet users do not have a good understanding of copyright issues. I've taken pains to make sure our policy on content reuse can be mostly automated. I believe fair dealing would be the term in Australia, assuming closely derived from English law, but "fair use" is a term most people understand. --Brian McNeil / talk 01:08, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
