Consumer advocacy group Choice has announced the winners of its annual Shonky awards. Choice’s editorial director Mark Serrels says private health insurer NIB has won a Shonky award for charging single parents higher premiums than couples. Meta has also become a Shonky award recipient for not taking sufficient action to remove scam advertisements from its platforms. Other Shonky winners include Daily Juice Co for selling juice drinks that contain food colouring to achieve a ‘green’ look; Choice contends that although the company did not claim that the product contained vegetable content, it was reasonable for consumers to assume that they did.
