"ADVERTISERS would be barred from portraying women in an exploitative or discriminatory way, under a ''pro-women'' policy Victorian Labor is expected to take to November's state election."
- State Labor plans to ban ads that exploit women

That'd mean, what, probably a majority of all existing advertising being banned? I could get behind that...

If they add an addendum that non-white, GLBTQ, working class, and/or non-neurotypical people shall also not be portrayed in an exploitive or discriminatory way, we will never have to see an ad again!

At the very least, it would be a de-facto ban on alcohol advertising...

And car advertising, and tools, and laundry stuff...
