the ad was made for the ABC .. and is property OF the ABC .. I believe that they just cant be seen to be favouring one political party over the others

it is an AWESOME ad (gave me goosebumps when I saw it on tv) .. and I believe that the greens have contacted the ad agency that made it, so they may well end up with something similar on air anyway - and the greens have got a LOT of media and online attention through fb .. and other sites ...

I can see WHY the ABC would have that rule ... and I can see why they aren't willing to break it for this ...

I dont think it will matter that its not on tv .. its stunning and will get lots of continued attention anyway ..

I ADORE the gruen nation/ transfer ... its one of my fav shows

awww i seen that the other night, and looked for it on youtube so i could post it to my fb! love it!!!

i may not know alot about politics, but i just wish that the labour/liberal parties would show adds about what they want to do for our country. not slander each other!!!

I agree, I wish there was a ban on mentioning the other party AT ALL! Stop telling me what they don't do and tell me what you do!
