New Aus Day lamb ad drops and offends everyone
The new lamb ad is out and as expected it’s dividing the nation and making headlines already.
In a desperate attempt to make light of the current political climate, the Broadway-style musical ad that pits the Left and the Right against each other has got people asking – is it time to stop making these lamb ads.
Meat & Livestock Australia goes famously big for its TV commercials, and has attracted plenty of controversy over the years.
“If you’re a right you are right about every single issue / the left can go cry, throw them a tissue,” sings the leader of right.
“If you’re a left you stick up for the little guy. I mean… person,” comes the reply.
Of course, the – totally unexpected – plot twist is that the one thing that can bring them all together is lamb.

Barely a few hours after it was released, the ad had already attracted plenty of attention on social media with a huge majority of people saying it’s “cringe”.

As someone who enjoys musicals, bridging political divides and lamb, the new lamb ad… misses the mark a bit
