| SWEARING in public is an offence, but the severity of the penalty varies widely depending on where you are at the time.
Using offensive language on a railway station or train attracts a $400 fine in NSW, but if it is on a bus or ferry, the penalty is $300. If you are in Parramatta Park at the time, the fine is just $100.
Fines for threats and intimidation also vary depending on the subject. If the threats are made against a forestry commission officer, the fine is $500, but if made against a tow truck driver, the fine is more than four times higher - $2200.
Causing harm to a person or property attracts a $1000 fine if explosives are involved but $400 if pesticides are used.
