Apart from any use as permitted under the Copyright Act 1968 (for example, "fair dealing" for the purposes of reporting news under section 103B of the Copyright Act), all other rights are reserved.

Fair dealing rationale: This image was released by the Australian Department of Defence as part of a media release informing the media and public about the activities of the Australian Army in Iraq. I believe that the use of this image, with the Department of Defence being clearly identified as the image's source, on a non-commercial online encyclopaedia such as Wikipedia qualifies for 'fair dealing' status under Australian law and the relevant copyright notice (reproduced above) as it is relevant to studying and researching the activities and capabilities of the Australian Army and is an image which was released by the Department of Defence in order to inform the public and for use by the media. As this photo depicts an Australian Army patrol during a military operation in an active warzone it is not possible to find a free image to replace this photo. A higher resolution version of the image is available at the source link provided above.

This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this image may qualify as non-free use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. Please remember that the non-free content criteria require that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy).
