Angela Goode: Tourism ads are offensive and sell us short

The tourism controversy hasn’t gone away – a guest column reams the advertisement, saying that tourism Australia would be better off catering to the rick, stuffy folk. With rich, stuffy ads. Bah. I think she would be better off in the UK. Then again, that’s the backpacker in me speaking…

BLOODY hell. Those new ocker Aussie ads designed to bring in high spenders to our fair land are an embarrassment. The Brits were right in banning them. They were doing what any motherly soul does with a headstrong adolescent hell-bent on making a fool of itself. She puts her foot down.
