Networks to screen Danny Green ads
AAP
Major television networks will start screening an ad campaign by Australian boxer Danny Green warning about one-punch attacks in a bid to rein in alcohol-fuelled violence in NSW.
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell said on Wednesday that the networks had agreed to air Green's campaign as a community service message after he urged them to join the government's fight against violent, drunken assaults.
"There can be no better person than a professional boxer to highlight the dangers of a one punch and the dangers that violent assaults can cause," he told reporters on Wednesday.
