4WD Touring publisher wins prize dispute with unhappy subscriber
Carlisle Rogers, publisher of 4WD Touring Australia magazine, has won an appeal against the winner of a magazine competition, encouraging publishers to stand up for their principles to avoid a tarnished reputation.
Rogers’ magazine was sued in July last year by competition winner Grant Lawler, who had won a 2002 Toyota Landcruiser, a Pioneer camper trailer and a boat and outboard, in a magazine competition. It was said to be worth $150,000.
Rogers founded the publication in 2012, and had not had a problem with any competition until Grant Lawler
wow, talk about the prize pig from hell! I have had bad experiences previously with competition winners trying to manipulate the T&Cs to get more, but this really takes the biscuit! So greedy
Wow what an ungrateful, entitled, sad old sack of a baby boomer.
“This FREE car, boat and caravan isn’t worth $150,000 only $125,000, I demand to speak to the manager! That’s it I’m taking you to court!”
Well done Grant Lawler for taking humanity down a further notch.
Congratulations Carlisle Rogers for taking a stand on principle! I appreciate your courage.
What an ungrateful competition winner, he deserves a slap around the head and a fine for being a pain in the backside. A piece of coal will do him for Christmas…
