Monash University’s political campaign cleared by ad watchdog as violence is ‘justifiable’
Monash University’s ‘If you don’t like it, change it’ campaign, which uses footage of tough issues like climate change, gun laws, war, drugs, poverty and terrorism, has been cleared by the ad watchdog despite complaints suggesting it as “inappropriate” and “glorifying a cowardly and illegal act”.
The ad, which was created by Y&R, aimed to promote the idea that anybody with an education can help influence the world for the better, and included shots of a man in a black hood punching someone, guns, riots, drugs, bombings, injured people in war zones, body bags and an elephant falling to the ground.
