Got an email today saying up to 75% off hotels and it states the Islander Resort Hotel is available for $28. However, when I click through for details it is offering it to me for $94.
The email is also promoting $22 per night in Sydney but I can't seem to find anything at that price either.
Have a look at the email yourself and see if you can figure out how to get these $20 to $30 rates…

Is this just blatant false advertising or were they truthfully offering rooms for $28 a night?
This wouldn't be the first example of a hotel sale bait and switch either. Even the big Accor Hotels chains seem to have grossly exaggerated sales: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/218697
Is the travel industry getting away with consistent breaches of the consumer law?
The price in the top right corner is a $/night average.
Presumably there's some combination of dates wherein you could achieve $22 per night, albeit a very difficult, secretive combination of dates.
I'd ask them to show their working, and if they "umm and ahhh", mention how their inability to advise seems to lend itself to the misleading nature of their promotion. That'd be my plan.
