The carnival is over for use of Australian band’s song they say was played without permission at conservative conference
A member of legendary Australian band the Seekers has taken aim at a conference featuring Pauline Hanson for using a classic song, confirming no permission had been granted.
Bruce Woodley said the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) featured I Am Australian without approval, while the song’s co-author revealed Hanson had been previously threatened with legal action over its potential use.
