‘They are concocting clickbait hypotheticals’: Health minister bites back at junk food ad claims
The South Australian Minister for Health has hit back at the Australian Association of National Advertisers, following yesterday’s claims that “humble pantry staples” are included in the state’s recently introduced ban on junk food advertising.
The ban came into effect yesterday, July 1, and prohibits advertising of junk food on government assets across Adelaide, including buses, trams, and trains.
It has long been met with resistance from national advertising bodies including the AANA and OMA, which have claimed it “will be ineffective”.
