3:22 An early version of Westpac. VOICEOVER: Wales Handybank. You can bank on the Wales. For those who are confused, Westpac was established in 1817 as the Bank of New South Wales, hence the Wales name being used in this ad. They changed their name to the Westpac Banking Corporation in 1982, and then it officially became known today as Westpac.
Young's, Tooheys, Shoprite and Reschs must have kept CTC7 from going broke in the early 80s. 34:45 - that has to be a mistake, surely? 37:00 - erm, doesn't that technically count as a slogan?
The interest rates on investment was 15.5% that would mean home loan lend rates at around 17%, even more for personal loans!!!! YET PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING about the cost of living in 2024....I remember my Mum complaining about the high interest rates back then. In the same reel of ads is one for Knitwit LEARN TO SEW CLASSES.....AND RIGHT THERE IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1981 AND NOW!!!!!
