The Australian Copyright Law Review Committee is currently undertaking
a review of the Copyright Act as it relates to computer software.

Public submissions were called, the secretariate has produced a 
table summarizing people's positions.

The amazing thing to me is that Apple Computer Inc / Apple Computer
Australia Pty Ltd are listed as being _opposed_ to protection of
look and feel. This might of course be a typing error, I have
spoken to the secretary of the committee and he has said he will check.

The only organization listed as being in favor of look and feel
protection is the Institute of Patent Attorneys of Australia.
