The AFL Grand Final was watched by 2.57million viewers on Saturday September 29. With your help, many of those viewers also saw our Climate Change Ad – reminding Australians not to swallow Government spin on climate change! All slots listed to the right were purchased – congratulations to all those who have supported so far!
UPDATE: INCREDIBLE DONATIONS! You raised over $250,000 to air the ad in just 3 days and you’ve continued to donate – your generosity means we can continue to show this ad after the AFL, and campaign on climate change all the way to the election and beyond.
Thanks to everyone who donated!
2.57million Australians tuned into the AFL Grand Final on September 29. Your contributions made it possible to send them the real message on climate change.
These are the spots GetUp originally purchased to show the ad on Saturday’s AFL:
AFL Grand Final in Melbourne – 15.08pm
AFL Grand Final in Sydney – 14.16pm
Pre-game in Brisbane – 12.07pm
Pre-game in Adelaide – 11.08pm
Based on the overwhelming response we purchased over 50 additional ad slots, including in Newcastle, Tamworth, the Gold Coast, Lismore, Taree, Coffs Harbour, Canberra, Wollongong, Albury, Shepparton, Ballarat, Bendigo, Gippsland, the Sunshine Coast, Rockhampton, Toowomba, Cairns, Bundaberg, Townsville, Mackay, Darwin, Launceston and Hobart. There were none left in WA, but the overwhelming response means we will continue to air the ad now that the Grand Final has come and gone.
The ad also gained coverage in local and national news and current affairs programs, and newspapers.
