The legal letter from Sunshine Coast lawyer Zoe Naylor accused the video's producers of "unauthorised and deceptive use of our client's image". "We demand that you remove this video," the letter states.
Mr Irwin claimed, through his lawyer, that the "egregious" video may mislead viewers into believing he is aligned with One Nation.
"Robert Irwin is heavily associated with the Irwin Family and the Australia Zoo, which are all recognisable brands."
Mr Irwin's lawyer threatened to apply for an injunction and commence defamation proceedings if the cartoon was not removed by 5pm on Monday. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-16/qld-robert-irwin-pauline-anson-please-explain-legal-action/103984290 #passingoff #personalityrights #defamation #auslaw #auspol
