In Australia you must always attribute creative commons material.
Many of the free creative commons images on the internet are from international website. They often say 'no need to attribute or acknowledge', which would be true if you were in a different country. The copyright rules in Australia are different and you must always attribute creative commons or public domain material, even if the original owner says you don't need to.
The only exemption is if the user has specifically purchased royalty free images.
