According to the
Sydney Morning Herald, a judge ruled that Palmer used the rhythm and melody from the Snider-penned hit single We re Not Gonna Take It in 2019 campaign ads without permission.
Palmer had argued that he came up with his campaign song - which features the lyrics
Australia ain t gonna cop it, no Australia s not gonna cop it, Australia s not gonna cop it anymore - independently and that Snider had no right to the copyright due to his song s similarities to the 18th-century Christmas carol Oh Come, All Ye Faithful.
A statement from Snider helped clarify that his song was inspired by, and not a copy of, Oh Come, All Ye Faithful. His team presented evidence that Palmer had in fact tried to license the Twisted Sister song for use in the campaign ads.
