spruiking ?

I understand it to mean “to promote” or “to give a speech in favor of something”.

“Speechifying” comes to mind as a similar term we might use in the States.

Yeah, me too. Closest my Websters can come to is ‘’spur’’ but no ‘’spruiking’’. Must be an Aussie thing, like ‘’diggery-do’’ or whatever.
