Not PD - the CC notice on the National Archives of Australia website explicitly states that it does not cover items in its collection. Per the NAA factsheet on copyright (http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/fact-sheets/fs08.aspx) this image created in 1987 is still under copyright. Nick-D (talk) 21:52, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. No one is claiming that this image is public domain. The NAA is an Australian government agency. Its copyright statement states that: "Save for the content on this website supplied by third parties, the National Archives logo and the Commonwealth Coat of Arms, the National Archives has applied the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia Licence". The image in question was produced by the Australian Overseas Information Service (OIS), a defunct government agency. The Australian government cannot be a third party to itself! Furthermore, because the OIS merged into the Department of Foreign Affairs of Trade (DFAT) in 1994, the copyright for the image is specifically held by DFAT, which has also released its archives under a CC-3.0 licence.

- You are deliberately ignoring the part of the NAA creative commons page you link to which is clearly titled "Collection copyright" and states that items in the collection have different copyright statuses. Nick-D (talk) 09:19, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
- That section refers to the fact that the NAA hosts both government-produced/owned content (i.e., Crown Copyright) and privately-produced/owned (copyright is not held by the government). As stated above, this image falls into the first category and has thus been released under the Commons licence; ergo, it is suitable to be hosted on Wikimedia Commons.
