A third and unreleased Old Mate TV ad featuring Adelaide Crows captain Rory Sloane is “unlikely to ever see the light of day”.
According to Channel 7, the ad, which included Old Mate sharing a can of Coke with Sloane, looked more like a Coke promotion and has been scrapped by the state government.
Treasurer Rob Lucas has told 7:
“The tourism commission’s had a rocket from me,” he told 7NEWS.
“I’ve made it quite clear this is an unacceptable practice.
“It won’t be allowed to continue.”
