A business found guilty of selling thousands of pieces of fake, Indonesian-made "Aboriginal" art has been slapped with a $2.3 million fine by the Federal Court.
These products, which included boomerangs, bullroarers, bamboo didgeridoos and message stones, featured designs associated with Aboriginal art and words such as ‘‘Aboriginal Art’’, ‘‘genuine’’, and ‘‘Australia’’ but were, the court found, made in Indonesia.The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission urged Justice Melissa Perry to award a penalty in the range of $2 to $2.5 million as a deterrent to this kind of breach, which could undermine the integrity of the Indigenous arts sector.
WAM Clothing secured the exclusive clothing licence last year. On its website the business states that Mr Thomas is paid royalties for every piece of clothing sold.
