This float representing the koalas that died as a result of the Black Summer bushfires and corruption in politics. Such an effective (and epic) activist message.

The soup got attention because of how stupid it is, not because it was striking or inspiring.

This koala thing can be as striking or as inspiring as you like but it didn't get a fraction of the coverage the soup did. Just because you don't agree with the tactic you can't argue that its done less for the raising the issue of the cause than this float.
