To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the above-signed shows that the Citizens of Australia believe that outdoor advertising should be G rated because:
- The inappropriate sexualisation of children in Australia is of increasing concern.
- Public spaces are used by the general public including children, so they should have advertising that is suitable for a general audience. Currently, highly sexualized images/messages disallowed on TV until late at night are imposed on the general public with no ‘off’ button.
- Parents are not being given the right to decide what is appropriate for their children’s viewing.
- The Advertising Standards Board’s self-regulation is not working in regard to outdoor advertising.
