At a time when problem gambling
is at its highest levels, we do NOT need ads such as this one to 'push' the boundaries and, as a
reformed gambler myself - I TAKE OFFENCE to the use of such imagery and the mental state it
conjures up.

It is not appropriate to plaster sex-related information on billboards, in front of our children.
I find the billboard offensive as I think sex matters should be kept private.

6 year old goes to IKEA furniture store and leaves the store in the back seat of a sedan WITHOUT
wearing a seat belt or in a car seat. This is dangerous & unlawful.

A sample of comments which the complainant/s made regarding this advertisement included the
following:

When the lady raises the blinds, the blind chain is clearly swinging around and does not have a
child safety device attached. Child safety devices on roll up blinds are manditory in all states of
Australia, either by legislation or duty of care. I am Safety Officer for The Blindmakers
Association of Australia and this type of situation does not help the cause of child safety.
