Copyright (Parody and Satire) Amendment Bill
Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
This bill amends the Copyright Act 1994 to provide that fair dealing with a work does not infringe copyright if the purpose is for parody or satire.MP in charge
