The commercial, by non-for-profit group Dads4Kids, promotes the role of fathers in the lives of their children.

Free TV Australia says the ad cannot be put to air because it 'potentially contains political matter'.

Dads4Kids has released a statement expressing its disappointment its message had been misinterpreted and it had never been its intention to enter the same sex marriage debate.

This is ridiculous.

They could just add in two seconds of a gay couple in the ad

Updated the link in the OP.

What I'm most confused by is the fact that it's a 2 minute commercial. Why would it be so long?

Hopefully regressives get called out on this shit. Australia is going off the deep end with militant feminism, and I'm certain it factors into this somehow. Just look at how unprofessional talk shows were with Cassie Jay when The Red Pill came out.

Progressives and feminists are at it again helping to move the world to brighter future.

Just when I think we've put a muzzle on this silliness, news like this springs up. FFS Australia, sort it.

Fixed.

Ridiculous. Skimming through the ad, it seems there's maybe a few seconds of straight stuff, the rest is the dad and the kid. I don't think this should be a problem even with more straight stuff shown, let alone as-is. You've got to really try to interpret this as political to be able to see anything political here.
