Fair dealing
Australian fair dealing law (similar in many respects to fair use in the United States) permits the use of images for:


 * Research and Study
 * Review and Criticism
 * 'Reporting the News'

Use of this image on Wikipedia qualifies in the preceding three of these categories. In addition, please view the fair use rationale below.

Fair Use Rationale for Current Australian Commonwealth ministry, Rudd Government, First Rudd Ministry and Prime Minister of Australia
Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws (and Australian fair dealing laws), and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:
 * 1) It illustrates an educational article about the group pictured in the photo.
 * 2) There is no free photo of this event, the swearing in of the first Rudd ministry. It is also not feasible for anyone to arrange a free photo of the whole ministry together, and so is not replaceable by free content.
