Outrage over Australian government's graphic Covid-19 ad
Mon, 12 Jul 2021, 2:11PM
Australians have reacted with outrage at the release of a confronting new advertisement warning about the dangers of Covid-19.
The government is set to roll out the shocking 30-second clip, which shows a terrified young woman struggling to breathe on a ventilator, on free-to-air television across the nation from Sunday night.
A preview of the ad immediately attracted a public backlash, with many taking to social media to call for it to be ditched.
