Wicked Campers narrowly avoids Queensland van de-registration following ad standards ruling

Wicked Campers has narrowly avoided having one of its vans deregistered after the Queensland Government suspended its registration until the company removed the “offensive” advertising deemed inappropriate by Ad Standards Board.

A Wicked Campers van with a Queensland registration, which had the statement “oral sex is a great last minute gift” written on the back, was banned by the Ad Standards for using inappropriate language and reference to a sexual act.

Wicked Campers need to be taught a tough lesson. The police should pull over every van every day at any time for a full RWC then check the driver and passengers. Total harassment 24/7 so a pleasant Melbourne to Brisbane trip takes weeks instead of days.
