Australian government launches campaign to bring attention to new tax laws

The Australian government has launched a television commercial ‘Earned here, taxed here’ to educate Australians on its new tax laws.

The two 30-second ads spruik the government’s efforts to close loopholes which allowed multinationals to avoid paying tax in Australia.

Created by BMF, the ads use Photoplay and feature small metal balls rolling through wooden slides which make the shape of Australia – similar to the Mouse Trap board game.

Steve McArdle, managing director at BMF, said in a statement: “It’s important that the Australian public have faith in our tax system. Our task was to communicate the steps the government is taking to protect its integrity. In doing so, we hope we’ve been able to bring simplicity and elegance to what could be considered a complex subject matter.”

Earned here, taxed here will run across online, print, radio, digital and television.
