THE DEAL

Be a well-fed Polished Man. Thanks to the legends at Grill’d, every Polished Man who raises +$30 can claim one FREE Grill’d burger EVERY DAY between the 4th - 10th of October.

Final Tally $10,104

Similar to last Years Deal **as a team we raised $3,883!

The time has come to sign up for Polished Man 2017! I have kick started our OzBargain Team with a $50 donation for a great cause.

One in five children fall victim to physical and/or sexual violence, before they turn 18. That’s one too many. We need you to help us nail it to end violence against children.

So what are we asking you to do?

Sign up to Polished Man

This October we challenge men (and women) to paint one fingernail Polished Man Blue to represent the 1 child that dies every 5 minutes as a result of violence. Note: Blue is preferable but any colour will be accepted.

Start a conversation about violence on behalf of those one in five children

Fundraise, so together we can provide trauma relief and trauma prevention services to our world’s most vulnerable citizens.

For those wanting to join, you need to join as an individual and then add the OzBargain team. Please do not create a new team just use the existing one here Make sure you donated on your individual profile.

    I read it as requiring a donation of at least $30 each day for the free burger the next day-
    '…and raised at least $30 on the Polished Man platform for the Promotion by 11.59 pm (AWST) the previous day'.

    So not $30 for 7 burgers, but $30 donation per burger.

      I'm pretty sure it just means if you don't have $30 raised by October 4th you can still get $30 raised during the promotion week and receive the free burger for the remaining days. For example if you get $30 raised by October 7th you will receive a free burger on the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th.

      • theguyrules on 05/09/2017 - 08:58

        It's pretty vague tbh.

        • BeRad on 05/09/2017 - 09:20

          it's fairly straightforward

        • theguyrules on 05/09/2017 - 09:25
          +2

          @BeRad: It can be read either way. It was poorly written. The newly discovered terms and conditions PDF clear it up however.

    • Thespottedcow on 05/09/2017 - 08:58
      +5

      A minimum of $30 needs to be raised in total.

      The terms basically just read that if you don't raise that money until during the free burger dates that you still qualify for burgers but must have raised the money by 11:59pm on the previous day to the day the voucher will be sent.

      For example if you raise $30 by the 6th October 11:59pm you would still get vouchers daily on the 7th,8th,9th & 10th

    • malouphix on 05/09/2017 - 09:00
      +8

      It could go either way

      I agree part of the wording is contradictory.

      Tick this box to register for the Grill’d free burger promotion. Once you’ve raised $30, Grill’d will shout you a FREE burger every day between the 4th and 10th of October!

      provide upon registration (burger​ ​barcode​).

      -7. Burger barcodes will be sent at 9am (EST) each day during the Promotion Period. To receive a

      -8. If you reach the $30 fundraising threshold on the day of the Promotional period you will

      continue to receive burger barcodes for the remainder of the Promotion Period.       Burger
      barcodes will not be issued retrospectively, so make sure you raise that money quickly to
      make the most of this offer.

        Thank you for the detailed T&C.

        I RETRACT my comment about needing to raise $30 per burger.

        My reading now is that once you raise $30, you will get a promotional code each day for the rest of the promotion period. Thank you for highlighting the relevant line.

    There are at least 2 people who have created profiles named 'Ozbargain', presumably to try and trick people into donating to them.

    • idonotknowwhy on 05/09/2017 - 08:58

      Maybe we need a link to the real/official ozbargain group in the OP then.
      What would they be trying to gain though, it all goes to the charity right?

      Edit: Ah, I see what you mean now, the individuals named themselves 'ozbargain' in the group.

      • theguyrules on 05/09/2017 - 08:59

        Just potentially not having to donate at all to get free burgers.

    Don't buy into this campaign and don't buy their overpriced burgers. Anybody would agree that any violence against children is despicable and the perpetrators should be punished to the full extent of the law but Polished Man is not what it pretends to be and Grilled should hang their head in shame for promoting such an underhanded devious propaganda campaign.

    The statistics they use are grossly inflated and taken out of context.

    Lets look at the evidence they use to come up with their 1 in 5 children having been sexually or physically abused by men in 90% of cases.

    They cite these 3 studies https://raisely-images.imgix.net/polishedman2016/admin/polis…

    (1) World Health Organisation 2014, Child Maltreatment Fact sheet N°150.

    (2) Australian Institute of Family Studies 2015, CFCA Resource Sheet:
    Child Abuse and Neglect Statistics.

    (3) World Health Organisation, Global Estimates of Health Consequences
    due to Violence against Children, op. cit. at note 8.

    To make a case against males without controlling for social, religious and cultural variances globally is to profoundly distort the data.
    Australian men have nothing to answer for for what men in Afghanistan or Russia or Bolivia do and it is profoundly sexist to suggest we do.

    The second study does relate to Australia and is very interesting - "Australian Institute of Family Studies 2015, CFCA Resource Sheet:
    Child Abuse and Neglect Statistics" is available here www.aifs.gov.au/cfca/publications/child-abuse-and-neglect-st…

    The data they draw on is from an Australian Institute of Health and wellness study which found that there was 5,559 substantiated cases of child sexual abuse and 8,361substantiated cases of child Physical abuse in 2015 - 2016.
    Thats 13,920 children who have been sexually or physically abused in Australia during that period.

    This is way too many and there should be serious efforts to stamp this out but it is NOWHERE near 1 in 5 Children and this report makes NO MENTION of the sex of the perpetrator.

    Now lets look at their claim of 1 in 5

    Australia has a population of 24,13 million people of which 18.8% are aged between 0 - 14 years of age. Thats 4.53 million Australians under 14 years of age. http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/[email protected]/featurearticlesbyCat…

    If one in 5 of these children have been physically or sexually abused that would mean 907,288 children have been sexually or physically abused by men in Australia.

    Its a blatant and disgusting sexist lie. It is to give the impression that there is an epidemic of men abusing children when it is simply not the case.
    I'll never eat their burgers again and neither should you.

    • DaTa on 05/09/2017 - 11:21
      +3

      Last years made mention of the sex of the perpetrator so please check this out.

      • xkravx on 05/09/2017 - 11:27
        +4

        Even if it was 100% of men, its still a gross distortion.

        Its also notable that emotional abuse of children was omitted, probably because women are equally likely to have committed that offence against children.

        Can't be messing up the narrative now can we?

    Cheaper to make your own 7 burgers.

    Lame question on Raise $30. Can we just donate to ourselve $30 or have to promote it to get someone to put into your account?

    Is that a team $30 or individual $30? so confusingly written

      Just raise $30, the source of the money does not matter

    • John on 02/10/2017 - 17:17

      I know. I think I have donated $30 instead of raising $30. So I may not be getting any burgers after all. Annoyingly there's no phone no to ask for help. I've emailed them hoping there'd be some sort of reply.

    Grill'd can stick their burgers up their a%se for promoting such a sexist campaign while distorting facts and further propaganda at demonising men in Australia.

      Loosen that tinfoil hat, champ. It appears to be cutting off circulation.

    Can I order 1 BURGER for EACH STORE?

    • Thespottedcow on 02/10/2017 - 14:13

      You get an email with a unique barcode each day which can be used to claim 1 burger.

      So NO only 1 per day not per store.

        thanks!
        Any burger? Or just basic $10 ?

  • Thespottedcow on 02/10/2017 - 14:16

    Team total currently stands at $2717

      You should be able to edit the post now if you want to put any updates.

    I think I have donated to OzBargain. Then when I created my profile as individual, I'm still down $30 :S

    So no free burger for me???

    • MilkDrinker on 03/10/2017 - 19:54

      Also worried about this, totally thought I joined ozbargain and donated, but my profile doesn't have $30 donated on it, so I donated to my team but it doesn't count for me?

      Well we will find out tomorrow anyway

        I emailed them and they fixed it up for me. Received a reply within a day so I'd recommend the same.

    So what do I need to do to get free burgers?

    1) Sign up, Join Ozbargain team and donate $30
    2) Sign up, Join Ozbargain team and get others to donate $30 (probably just me donating from another account I will make up)
    3) Sign up, Join Ozbargain team and team donations need to be over $30 which they are at about $3883. So donate any amount.

    This is so complicated why can't they just say donate $30+ and get free burgers.

    • realfancyman on 02/10/2017 - 20:46

      No.
      * Sign up for the polished man thing and tick the Grill'd box when doing it
      * Join Ozbargain team
      * Go to your profile
      * Donate $30 on that page

  • Moderatorscotty on 02/10/2017 - 20:32

    Last year we donated $900 and this year we decided to double that amount to $1,800 — with a condition. Only if OzBargainer can raise $3,200 so together we can hit that $5,000 goal.

    At the moment $2,927 has been raised so it's $273 to go, and that's just 9 more OzBargainers donating an extra $31 each.

    Let's see that happening tonight :)
