Oh God - How could they be so sloppy? Surely someone from VCAA would have figured that eventually she's going to find out they used her article without her permission...

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”
― Hunter S. Thompson

Technically they're not required to ask for permission

under the terms of the Copyright Act the VCAA was permitted to use and adapt written material for exams without seeking prior permission to maintain the security of the exams

Still, poor form. How hard can it be to make up your own friggen piece?

IMO 'Helen Razer' is a pretty 'hip' name.

I've just noticed VCAA has now placed an apology on their website: http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/index.html

In short, they apologise for not acknowledging her moral rights, and for failing to correctly attribute and editing the article without her permission.
