The NSW laws for advertising must have been changed? There's now a whole swag of ads for systems etc. which at one stage did not appear.
I do not believe newspapers are required to do checks on their customers' advertising claims. All that is required is the ad. meets the legal guidelines given to the paper for it to be permitted to be advertised in the paper. If newspapers had to do probity checks their cost would skyrocket.
Merry Christmas to All.
