SA Bans Junk Food Ads on Public Transport 🛑

Starting July 2025, junk food ads will disappear from SA's public transport in a bid to tackle obesity. With 63% of adults and 35% of children overweight, the government hopes this move will encourage healthier eating habits. The initiative mirrors successful bans in London and Canberra.
