Liberal MP Craig Kelly is demanding SBS immediately remove an ad encouraging people to avoid using their home heaters.
“I watched it and I was just absolutely flabbergasted that such a reckless, dangerous ad could actually be produced by a government agency,” Kelly has told 2GB.
“The World Health Organisation recommends that your home be heated to at least 18 degrees in winter. There’s many Australian homes that don’t reach that temperature.
“For a government ad to come on and to spread a message that when you’re cold… don’t turn the heater on because that might help with our Paris targets, it’s irresponsible and it’s dangerous.
“I think it’s a disgrace. I’ve called for SBS to remove that ad immediately and to offer an apology.”
