Call for help: Australian lawyers?

[astolat]

This isn't a specific job, more a general call for help. We could really use some advice from an Australian lawyer -- ideally someone familiar with the Australian law on pornography and with the concept of fanfic, but we'll take whatever help we can get -- who would be willing to talk to us privately, not for formal legal advice, just a conversation to help get us pointed in the right direction.

If you are one yourself or if you know someone (in RL or online), if you could drop me a note to put me in touch (I can be reached at astolat at livejournal dot com), it would be much appreciated!

Also, if you are located in Australia and would be willing to help us find a lawyer through Legal Aid-type channels if we can't find one through fandom connections, please drop a comment here? I've found some resources, which I'm putting here to keep track of.

They may be able to answer your questions on the creative / copyright side of the line. Plus a lot of useful links and downloads.

As the name says... An independent not for profit organisation. Again a lot of useful links and downloads.
