The company named after and run by the controversial former celebrity chef is ordered to stop advertising products like the BioCharger, which also got him into hot water last year.

for claiming the BioCharger, described as a "subtle energy revitalisation platform", could be used in relation to coronavirus, as well as a number of other unproven claims.

Evans claimed this "subtle energy revitalisation platform" could be used in relation to coronavirus at the height of the pandemic. Neither product is currently being advertised on Evans's website but the blurb for a product called Q Magnets described them as "the world's most powerful and effective therapeutic magnets".

$80k for free advertising...he probably thinks this is a good deal. People are still daft enough to buy his magic machine.

Uhh the same TGA that wants prescription for nicotine liquid, the TGA is a joke

You would make a excellent liberal national party politician Evans.

A dangerous, totally unqualified, self entitled, opinionated shyster. Cancel all his media accounts deregister his businesses and don't give him any oxygen

Take him down. F*cking snake oil salesman should be locked up

He'll never miss the $80k , it's pocket change for him. He should be in prison.

How about some jail time for sleazy lying maggots like this? Send a proper message loud and clear.

I do love how he sells products that cure the coronavirus and he also preaches that Covid is a hoax 🤔

Well ..this fits perfectly the state harassment protocol on non compliant Influencers : intimidation, impoverishment and defamation. chef / Pete Evans

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

He should be jailed. What a weak response to a con artist who rips people off with junk.

Who the fuck is Pete Evans?

Poor guy!

Buahaha!

I think penalty shd be to eat a decent meal. He always looks like he'd appreciate one.

He need to become a politician if he wants to get away with that sort of thing.

If only there was somebody we could turn to to investigate the Liberals advertising announcements.

Snake oil salesman!

MSMWatchdog2013 👍👍👏👏👏

Not enough. He should be fined way harder. The damage he does is irrefutable.

MSMWatchdog2013 For a man who knows it all, it’s strange he does not know how to stop the advertisements.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But you can drive unlicensed and uninsured with drugs in your system and get off completely free

Yes I’m extremely wise to get medical advice from a mediocre chef

Any further breach by Pete Evans should be a minimum 6 month jail term.

Perfect picture

He can't cook for shit...unless it is actual shit. He writes cookbooks about stuff he seems to have pulled from his neighbour's garbage. Sitting around and tasting food doesn't make you a 'chef' else I'd have 100 Michelin stars by now!

The original Charlatan. Such a waste of oxygen. I'm off to sun my perineum. 💥💥

Useless TGA wasting money again🤣🤣

Another dangerous guru being caught out. Pete Evans is the Peter Foster of scammers.

Aren't there laws against profiting from crime. Eighty thousand dollars? Seems as though he's still getting to keep the proceeds from his snake oil spin.

Wish it had another zero on the end
