In Queensland, Brisbane CBD at the moment (heard it on talk-back radio) Is this going to far? I think that perhaps a fine for extreme behaviour with really drunk idiots that are actually being a menace in public (harassing others), but otherwise I think it should be let go. People use swear words in Australia, as well as in other countries. As long as it's not every second word, I don't really mind if people swear in public. In someone's backyard, etc. that should be left alone (except if they have a swear party every night or something silly)
The problem is, this could turn into the speed camera revenue raising activity that fines people for very very minor offences.
What do you guys think? Is there something like this in other countries?
Also introduced are fines up to $300 for being a menace in public, such as urinating in the street...
