"I actually think it's racist as well. Not intentionally, but the first thing I thought of was 'white Australia policy'. I found it incredibly insensitive and have reported it."

I've sent you a few personal messages and haven't heard back from you. Am hoping my messages haven't ended up in your spam folder. I'm hoping to hear from you today."

"Hi Megan, glad you found us! Yes I had seen the 'you'll be shagged after your workout' ads too. Innuendo in advertising, not very original and very tacky.

I am sorry I have not got given any of the contacts that I thought might be useful to you.
Join the LNP and get some policies up against this. Contact Adian McLindon, member for Beaudesert and ask him where to direct your concerns.
Calll your local state member of parliament and ask them who is responsible. Call your local councilor and ask them who is responsible. Let them know you are not happy. Write to your local free newspaper as this will the easiest way to get printed. Ring the talkback radio stations and voice your concerns so that others will get the courage to speak up as well.
Contact Wendy Francis who is conducting a campaign this advertising and support her efforts. You can befriend her via facebook.
Join this group on facebook and post your concerns to see who also shares them

This group called Rise is another group that deals with this issue. The Queensland contact is Anthony Goodwin who you can send a message via this group and also befriend him to have direct contact.
Ask your friends and family to flood the airways and politicians offices at sate and local level to complain about this philth on our streets.
Also I saw a post by another lady on this same topic on 1 March on this group. It seems a number of you are interested in this issue. It is disgusting.
