Legal warning to small businesses after spate of AI Anthony Albanese memes
Businesses that have used AI-generated images of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to slam changes to capital gains tax (CGT) have been warned they could face legal action.
The government announced sweeping reforms in the budget that removed a discount on the CGT, meaning those running small businesses could pay up to 47 per cent in taxes to the government if they sell their business.
It has been met with condemnation, with owners around the country criticising the changes, jokingly calling the prime minister a 'shareholder' of the business and using AI images of him "working" for the company.

While the stunt went viral on social media, legal experts warn that business owners could risk legal action.
"Using an AI-generated image of a politician or celebrity is not automatically illegal in Australia, because there is no broad standalone 'image right' that gives a person complete control over every commercial use of their likeness," lawyer Charlotte Hale from LegalVision said.
"The legal risk starts when a post creates the impression that the person endorsed, approved, sponsored or attended the business."

Hale warns businesses could still be at risk, even if their intent wasn't to mislead customers.
"Images, social media posts and testimonials can all be misleading if they create a false overall impression, regardless of whether the business intended to mislead," Hale said.
"The safer side is obvious parody, political commentary or clearly labelled AI-generated content that does not imply endorsement or promote a commercial product."
She said businesses can distance themselves from legal problems if they leave a clear disclaimer that the post is parody or that the images of Albanese have been generated by AI.

However, it may not be enough, referencing how some small businesses may have breached Australian consumer law by creating fake images of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'visiting' their stores during their visit to Australia last month.
"A disclaimer helps, but it is not a cure if the overall impression is still misleading," she said.
"Even if intended as a joke, some viewers may believe the visit happened."
"The line is crossed more quickly when the image is commercial, realistic, undisclosed, or tied to a false claim."
Video shows paraglider’s heart-stopping fall after plane collision
A heart-stopping video has captured the mid-air collision of a small plane and paraglider, sending the latter tumbling toward the earth.
The video, posted to Instagram buy user @sab-thi or "Sabrina" shows her soaring through the air in clear skies over northern Austria.
A buzzing sound is heard before a small plane, which Sabrina identified as a Cessna 172, swoops into frame and tears through her paragliding canopy.

The canopy shredded, Sabrina starts falling toward the faraway ground.
Over muffled exclamations, she manages to deploy her emergency reserve parachute and free her tangled legs from the harness to land safely – even narrowly avoiding hitting a tree.
"I actually still can't believe that I'm sitting here typing this and apart from a few nasty bruises and bruises all around nothing really happened," she wrote in a translated caption.

The collision took place on May 23, on what apparently was Sabrina's birthday.
Both Sabrina and the plane pilot, a 28-year-old man, escaped serious injury, police said.
"The propeller of the motor plane severely damaged the paraglider, prompting the experienced paraglider to deploy her reserve parachute," police said in a statement.
