I am possibly misremembering but I am sure that the C word was used on Winners & Losers in one episode by Bec. I am happy to be wrong, it may have only been the F word which still would have been rare then.

It would have been the âFâ word. I doubt they would have used the âCâ word on that show.
I can remember the outrage when John Howard dropped the âFâ word on All Saints. 
It was a word that had not been heard on that show before, even though it was an M show.

Remember the Nine-ACMA controversy back in 2008 with âRamsayâs Kitchen Nightmaresâ? C-word is taboo.
Acceptable language changes over time.
The reaction to the word cunt has softened over the last decade.

So much so that many, particularly young folk, use it in day to day vernacular. Which is a shame to see.

I remember that. I also remember Rob Sitch had a rant on The Panel, so that would have been late 90s, when he shouted âWho the fâ are you?â talking about Donna Gubbay after The Panel played some clip of her on E News. I remember his rant caused a bit of a stir, of course, well before social media. These days it would probably not raise an eyebrow.

I still cringe when I hear profanity used in public, particularly around females and older people. I love a filthy joke and I do swear at times but I like to think I only do it in appropriate situations. I complained to management in a licensed venue once when a group seated near my family was loudly dropping such words while we were dining. There was signage in the venue warning against inappropriate language.
Canât believe how many times the âCâ word was used throughout the eight seasons of Game of Thrones.
Warning: Language.

There must be a lot of fruity language flying around the Sitch household. Jane Kennedy dropped the F word on the Kennedy Molloy show last year and it wasnât dumped. Triple M made her do some additional radio standards training after that incident.

we all know Graham Kennedyâs suspect F-bomb crow call in 1975, but Mary Hardy said it before then, rather bluntly apparently, on The Penthouse Club in 1974 when a karate segment didnât quite go to plan. She was banned by the Broadcasting Control Board but they eventually relented.

It happens more than you think. A few times on Fitzy and Wippa, theyâve hit the dump button when they or a guest dropped it.
One time this year, Fitzy accidently dropped one in conversation. He was really excited and agitated when recalling a story from the weekend and it slipped through. It was quick and he hadnât even realised heâd done it so the conversation kept going until Wippa cracked up and explained what heâd done. He asked him a question and suggested he keep his answer clean this time. Fitzy was lost because he hadnât even noticed but the rest of the team had and just cracked up. Fitzy apologised later.

On DVD and on-demand on services such as iTunes, Microsoft and Google Play, yet the exact same episodes are MA15+ on Foxtel Now.

Normally, I donât watch Game of Thrones, but how many episodes has there been R18+ classification on it?

If you mean on Foxtel, none are R 18+, they are all MA 15+. All six episodes of Game of Thrones Season 8 are MA 15+ on Foxtel Now, but they are all R 18+ on demand on Fetch.

Iâm surprised no one has kicked up a stink about Foxtelâs MA15+ rating for GoT. It should be R18+ (which they canât do) or edited to MA15+ (which would prevent them airing the episodes live).
Both scenarios would have caused outrage but thankfully common sense has prevailed.

Exactly, itâs a joke. Australia should have one body to oversee classification for all mediums.
