An Adelaide nightclub has apologised for a social media campaign, condemned as 'misogynistic', in which a free drinks offer was extended to patrons based on their breast sizes.

abc.net.au/news/woolshed-hindley-nightclub-apologises-for-bra-post/102439850An Adelaide nightclub has apologised for a social media ad offering free drinks to patrons based on their bra sizes, after backlash in which the post was condemned as "misogynistic".

"It's hard enough to keep drunk men away, then add the pressure of get ya bras off to the mix," one commented on Facebook. While many on social media defended the original post, others were critical of suggestions it was harmless fun. On Facebook, it has since apologised for the "social media post shared by our nightclub", saying it had cancelled that particular campaign and would review "all promotional activity".

Albanese pushes Voice with characteristic ‘doublespeak’Sky News host Cory Bernardi says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Lowitja O'Donoghue Oration in Adelaide shows admission to pushing for change with characteristic Voice to Parliament Yes campaign “doublespeak” rhetoric. “We've been told for months there is nothing to be worried about when it comes to the Voice; the advocates, including the Prime Minister, have said It's a modest change we shouldn’t be afraid of,” Mr Bernardi said. “He told us it's not a radical proposition but a sensible one; it’s a simple, vital and practical principle that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a say in the policies and decisions that affect their lives. “That was back in February, … this week, while giving the Lowitja O'Donoghue Oration in Adelaide, he took a slightly different tack. “I read the transcript … and I found it full of misleading rhetoric and vague promises … at least now he’s admitting what the Prime Minister is pushing for is neither modest change nor merely symbolic. “Unfortunately, this double-speak is characteristic of many of those pushing the Yes campaign.”
