Original Message ustralians have never shied away from profanities – a television advertisement for a Toyota pick-up truck a few years ago featured only one word, repeated numerous times: "Bugger."

But now people who swear "obnoxiously" in the state of Victoria face being fined nearly A$240 (£155). The move, initiated by the new conservative government, has been likened to the establishment of a state-wide "swear jar". The government is introducing legislation this week that will enable police to issue on-the-spot fines for swearing, similar to parking or speeding notices.
