Hans, your sentiments are very much echoed by myself personally.
I only commented to a colleague the other day how inappropriate I felt the ads were.
 
Let's hope they will be stopped

Dear minister,
                  Thank you for your prompt reply, and yes I did send the same email to my local federal minister, and also to ALL Federal Ministers from the Prime Minister down, ( both sides of the chamber.)
 
The emails took me hours to send, but I know one phone call from the right person, and the ads would very quickly be put into more "child friendly"  timeslots.
 
This can happen because,  I know politicians care for the welfare of children.
 
These adult advertisements have been on the air for weeks and they should never have been allowed to be aired during the day, in the first place.
 
I  trust that when you "passed on my concerns" you also added that you agree toddlers shouldn't be subjected to these "adult themes" and "sexual references"  type advertisements.
 
Thank you for your time.
 
Yours Faithfully
 Hans Stephens.----

Thank you for your email outlining concerns regarding inappropriate advertising on the radio.
 
I have passed on your concerns to Mr Ramsey and wonder if you have also contacted your Federal MP to represent you to the Minister.
 
Cheers
