The anti internet filter campaign ad that Qantas banned

Here is the Get Up! ad, which was banned by Qantas for being ‘political in nature‘. Get Up! wanted the ad shown on all domestic flights into Canberra.

The ad provides some relevant parallels for what – in effect – the Government’s Internet Filter will mean for Australians. 

The trials of the filter are months behind schedule, supporting the argument that the Government’s approach is not only inappropriate but also unlikely to work. The plan is opposed by numerous stakeholders, including high profile interest groups for children in Australia

The decision to ban the ad has probably resulted in greater exposure for the campaign, inculding this story in the SMH and items on Sky News, Seven News and Meet The Press.
