to attract more international travellers. The One Nation cartoon ridicules this partnership, with an animated parody of Irwin telling viewers in the video’s opening moments: “The Queensland government has given us a disgusting amount of money to show you the state of Queensland.
“We are writing to inform you that your actions constitute defamation and involve the unauthorised and deceptive use of our client’s image,” the letter says. “We will commence legal action against you if you do not take down the video immediately.” Irwin’s family founded Australia Zoo in Queensland and his late father Steve, a television presenter and conservationist, was known world-wide as The Crocodile Hunter.
