Adshel is 49% owned by Clear Channel and 51% by APN Outdoor.
Ah, yes, APN Outdoor. I got them mixed up. But I didn't know about the ownership connection.

The bus shelter poster campaign spruiking the message "rip and roll", features a gay couple hugging while holding a condom packet.
The offending ads were taken down from around Brisbane yesterday after Adshel, Brisbane City Council and the Advertising Standards Bureau received 30 complaints about the ads.
But the ads' removal also caused an uproar on social media sites, with many furious the posters were brought down.
In a statement issued this afternoon, Adshel said many of the complaints were part of an ACL campaign, and that it has reinstated the ads.
