Re: Dunnas / Swerve. What the HELL is happening in Australia?
Hmm, I hadn't heard this yet, and it's not in the paper today, at least not the first dozen pages. Needs some investigating me thinks. It's very strange as there was a court decision a couple of years back that set the precedent that it wasn't illegal even to swear at the police.
Of course, Victorian courts are known for setting some dangerously stupid precednets. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/04/15/3192927.htm >\
Edit: Seems the swearing at the police case was in Queensland.

Well this isn't the courts doing it, it's new legislation, so unless it's unconstitutional....it'll probably go into effect.
