Fair use rationale for Image:MondocaneDVDscan.jpg
[edit]
Image:MondocaneDVDscan.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

"Lifesavers Girls"-Erroneous?
[edit]"A parade of the "Life Savers Girls Association" make their way to Sydney's Manly Beach to put on a surf carnival, including demonstrations of CPR on young men."
I believe this is incorrect and is showing two different organizations. The young women marching at the beginning of the segment/song are members of various marching girls organizations. These were started in Australia in the late 1930s or 1946 depending on the source, and also took root in New Zealand. Though it's possible some of these marching girls were also lifeguards, it's pretty clear at the end of their march where the camera looks out onto the beach and ocean, the various lifesavers girls squads are already assembled there with their characteristic organization pennants.
The confusion is understandable as the title track "Lifesavers Girls" is subtitled "More" and indeed the song starts playing when they are showing the marching girls squads at the beginning, not the lifesavers girls. It seems that the film makers themselves confused the two organizations.
While I'm here, I'm less sure if it was a "surf carnival" or not? ANZAC Day is a possibility as this event in the film drew in an awful lot of people including marching girls squads and lifesavers girls squads from all over so would surely have been a big event. It's also obvious that there was much coordination with the film crew and both groups. But I have no idea if they were all invited just for the filming of a motion picture, which is a possibility. It appears that the maching girl squads were directed to march down the street and then stop and mark time at a dead end as the camera was lifted up to show the beach beyond.
