Since this ad went to air on ABC’s Gruen Nation on Wednesday night, our office has been inundated with phone calls asking us to put it on air. Like our other ads this election, it's a positive message about Greens values on the issues that matter - and people love it.
We took your suggestions to heart: on Thursday morning we called Republic of Everyone (who agreed to let us use it) and asked the ABC for permission to use the ad. Unfortunately, the ABC couldn't do that. But Greens supporters are “glass half full” kind of people – and just because we can’t show it to people on TV doesn’t mean that, with your help, we can’t show it to the same number of people online.
You can help by posting this video to your personal Facebook page or share it on Twitter using the buttons below (don't forget to use the #gruennation and #ausvotes hashtags).
Throughout the campaign we've had a great response, buzz and debate around all of our TV ads, which are so different from the usual political spin. But as we head into the final week of the campaign, we need your help to get Greens messages out to millions of voters, whether by posting this video to you Facebook page, or sharing it on Twitter using the buttons below, writing a letter to your local paper talking about why you are voting Greens on Saturday, 21st August, or volunteering on Election Day - every bit helps!
