Not true. Governments can (and have) passed legislation to yank a work out of the public domain and put it back under copyright. I can't think of an example off the top of my head, but maybe I can scare one up. That it is disgusting and deeply immoral for such unadorned cronyism to occur doesn't mean it cannot happen.
