‘Not even oligarchs can get away with misleading the public’: Rinehart’s ‘clean gas’ claims fall foul of Ad Standards
Hancock Prospecting has been found in breach of the AANA Environmental Claims Code, after a complaint regarding the company’s “clean gas” was upheld by Ad Standards.
The company, owned by Australia’s richest person, Gina Rinehart, ran an advertisement for its recruitment site futureaustralianjobs.com on The Australian last October.
The ad claimed “Our clean gas keeps the lights, and factories, hospitals, and shops open from Tokyo to Toowoomba”, with the ‘clean’ claim disputed by climate communications group, Comms Declare.
