A shocking revelation has emerged, exposing a potential conflict of interest that could shake the foundations of a controversial social media ban. Are we about to uncover a hidden agenda?
The 36 Months campaign, a vocal advocate for Australia's teen social media ban, has deep roots in the advertising industry. Its managing director, Greg Attwells, has revealed that the campaign's inception can be traced back to a fateful meeting in May 2024. Attwells, alongside FINCH founder Rob Galluzzo and radio host Michael "Wippa" Wipfli, became the campaign's co-founders. But here's where it gets controversial...
While 36 Months was taking shape, FINCH, the very company that housed its birth, was simultaneously working on another project: TAB's "Get Your Bet On" gambling campaign. This television advert, which sparked numerous complaints in New Zealand, is just one example of FINCH's extensive work in the gambling industry over the past decade.
As the government prepares to abandon plans for an online gambling ad ban, using the teen social media ban as a distraction, questions arise. Could this be a strategic move to divert attention from the real issue? And this is the part most people miss...
The potential impact of this revelation extends beyond the campaign's origins. It raises concerns about the influence of advertising interests on public policy and the need for transparency. With the government's decision looming, the public deserves to know the full story.
So, what do you think? Is this a case of conflicting interests, or a mere coincidence? Share your thoughts in the comments and let's spark a discussion!
