Placing something in public doesn't relinquish copyrights
You're right- but I recall the relevant issue wasn't about being public, it was that our copyright laws allow creating a new 2D artwork (photo/graphic) from the 3D one (sculpture) with copyright vested in the derivative work as if it was not derivative. Something like that. Must refresh memory when get time.

That would make my job easier, as we have thousands of slides of artworks. Sadly, our legal advice is otherwise.

I guess part of the point is that the flash doesn't harm the shot of something that it fails to illuminate, but it might illuminate close things a whole lot better...so why not?
If it does illuminate something, it also changes the colour temperature, which is one of the reasons why I almost never use flash. You can always warmify it later, but meh, why not do it right first time.
I also turn all of the sounds off on my cameras. Apart from the noises being stupid, it also makes it much more possible to take discrete photographs.

Maybe you do have a better lawyer..

Brilliant. Brilliant coincidence too as I'd just blogged on McGlashan (There is No Depression is doing well in the comp) myself 'cause he's playing in Sydney tonight with Crowded House.

From the Copyright Act 1994:
s.73 Representation of certain artistic works on public display
(1) This section applies to the following works:
(a) Buildings:
(b) Works (being sculptures, models for buildings, or works of artistic craftsmanship) that are permanently situated in a public place or in premises open to the public.
(2) Copyright in a work to which this section applies is not infringed by—
(a) Copying the work by making a graphic work representing it; or
(b) Copying the work by making a photograph or film of it; or
(c) communicating to the public a visual image of the work.I think that's fairly clear.

Thanks for the Film Archive link. I never knew Ronnie Van Hout had directed a video for The Clean's Getting Older or that a clip even existed of the Suburban Reptiles doing Megaton. Excellent. RVH fans could see how that clip anticipates stuff he was doing on film 10, 15 years later -- Bob Scott as existential nowhere man.

Thanks, Rich. Certainly doesn't seem to be any leeway for pursuing a case there.

And people are worried about streetview!
