Tourism Australia’s controversial ‘Philausophy’ campaign has been given The Chaser treatment, and the result is pretty funny.
Just a day after Tourism Australia’s ‘Philausophy’ campaign launched to a barrage of criticism, Australian satirists The Chaser gave it a once-over and made it “more honest”, and Travel Weekly can’t believe we didn’t see this sooner.
Check out the parody ad in all its glory below:

Tourism Australia’s latest global campaign strategy is part of a $38 million investment that will be rolled out in the country’s 15 key tourism markets over the next three years to attract more international tourists Down Under.
