'Nothing like Australia'

Critics say new tourism campaign embarassing

The TV advert, under the new slogan "There is nothing like Australia" and backed by a catchy song, features broad-accented Aussies and smiling visitors enjoying well-known attractions such as beaches and the giant red rock Uluru.
