Australian television presenter Lee Lin Chin has channelled Lara Bingle's 2006 tourism campaign for a new advert.

The video, created by SBS's The Feed to advertise their upcoming forum on lockout laws, depicts Lee Lin standing on a deserted Kings Cross strip with her hands on her hips, exclaiming: 'Where the bloody hell are you?'

The 30-second promo is a parody of Tourism Australia's 2006 video that featured a bikini-clad Lara Bingle standing on a picturesque beach, delivering the famous line.

The original campaign was banned overseas due to its use of the words 'bloody' and 'hell'.

Twitter users were stoked to see the veteran journalist in the new advertisement and said her impersonation was 'everything.'

The clip also featured anchor Marc Fennell swimming in an ocean pool. 'We've chucked the sharks out of the pool,' he says, parodying the young boy from the 2006 campaign.

On Thursday afternoon, Lee Lin tweeted saying she was told she would channel Lara Bingle, but was 'not sure who she was.'

To discuss the controversial Sydney lockout laws, SBS's The Feed will lock 50 people in a pub for the 'ultimate debate'. The program will air on Tuesday at 7.30pm.
