Australia’s national broadcaster will send a cease and desist letter to rightwing populist party One Nation for using Bluey in a “shocking and disrespectful” cartoon which sees the beloved character repeatedly ramming politicians with an SUV.
ABC managing director Hugh Marks told Senate estimates on Tuesday he became aware of One Nation’s potential breach of intellectual property last week and sought legal advice. “We will be taking further action, I can assure you,” he said.
