MEDIA RELEASE

Who will be Australia’s first Vice President?
-
Mozo.com.au calls for nominations -
Financial comparison website, mozo.com.au, today announced the campaign
launch of Mozo’s Race for Vice President, a ground-breaking election campaign
designed to expose Australians’ top vices – booze, gadgets, takeaway food, clothes
and shoes, coffee and others – and seek out the country’s best candidates to vie for
the inaugural Vice President title.
Mozo’s Race for Vice President will run from 10 December 2009 with Australia’s
first Vice President inaugurated on Australia Day, 26 January 2010.
Entering the race is simple. Using the Mozo online Vice Calculator
, candidates
can find out how much they spend on their vice and then write up a simple
campaign promise which will be voted on by the public. In addition to being
inaugurated Australia’s First Vice President, the winner will receive a $5000 deposit
into a high interest bank account of their choice selected from Mozo.com.au.
Rohan Gamble, managing director of Mozo said: “This campaign is about providing
a lighthearted but also enlightening insight into the spending habits of everyday
Australians.
“And it is staggering how much we do all spend on our vices. For instance, our Vice
Calculator estimates that a 25 year old who buys just one coffee a day spends a
staggering $75,400 over their lifetime on coffee alone – that’s a lot of lattes that
could have been put towards that dream home!”
