New lamb ad brilliantly skewers PM
After Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Monday that his state would be introducing a permit system for all visitors from other part of Australia, the latest summer lamb ad cuts dangerously close to the bone.
One of the most eagerly anticipated ads of the year, every summer the lamb campaign seeks to bring different issues to light while promoting the virtues of lamb.
This year's ad pictures a dystopian vision of Australia in 2031, with all the states of the mainland being separated by walls to keep the other states out.
Eventually everyone is united when an old man catches the scent of lamb through a hole in the wall. Exactly why all states don't have their own lamb supply, isn't exactly clear, but the best bit comes right at the end, when Prime Minister Scott Morrison is skewered beautifully for his performance during last year's bushfires.
Watch the ad here:
What do you think of the ad?
Agree with all you've said Buggsie.
Love the ad and laughed my head off.
So many funny digs amid all the doom and gloom and the reality of the situation.

Still bagging Scotty ye of little faith? Put your hand up if any of you think you can do better. Remember this
The Prime Minster and the State Premiers are to be congratulated …it is because of their response to Covid 19 that we are the envy of the world.
The ad may be humorous, but the Daily Mail headline is definitely not!!
“Aussie farmers take aim at paranoid premiers over trigger-happy coronavirus border closures” (Daily Mail).
