Community will not tolerate sexist ads

20/3/03
Women's Interests Minister Sheila McHale said the withdrawal of a billboard advertisement for the WA Turf Club following complaints it was sexist is a win for women.
"The billboard was crass," Ms McHale said.
"The advertising industry needs to realise that women are fed up with sexist ads and no longer expect such inappropriate advertisements in this day and age.
"I am pleased to see that the community is not growing complacent. It will continue to fight for the rights of women and will not allow advances already gained to be eroded."
