Workchoices Advertisements

In what appears to be a waste of money, the Federal Government is running an advertisement campaign promoting their workplace relations laws (known as Workchoices) whilst the Victorian Government is simultaneously running a campaign against the policy. I guess one could argue that this allows voters to get ‘both sides’ of the issue but the ad’s really don’t give much information in that respect, so it seems to me to be a waste of money.

The Federal Government ad has a lady who appears to be a senior bureaucrat dispelling ‘myths’ surrounding the new laws.

The Victorian Government ad has ‘victims’ of the new laws giving their stories, in sombre black-and-white.

And the political disclaimer.
