FOR AUSTRALIANS: What do you think about the use of 'bloody hell' in the ad campaign?
I do not believe it is appropriate to be using the words 'bloody hell' because it is a form of blasphemy.
I think that using the words 'bloody hell' just isn't nice and it is portraying Australia as a country who swear alot and/or do not have the nicest sorts of people
I really don't see what is so bad about using 'bloody hell', after all it is just a saying, that I believe is commonly used and is a part of the Australian culture.
I'm OK with the use of the world, but I do understand that it can offend other people, so it should not have been used in the ad.
People should get over the whole use of the words, big deal.

FOR AUSTRALIANS: Do you fear that overseas people are going to get the wrong idea about Australia and not want to travel to Australia?
Yes, but I just want to say that people still should come to Australia, despite the messages they are recieving from the ad, because Australia is a wonderful country and the people are lovely.
No, most people will not let a couple of 'words' cause them to miss out on visiting one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

Yes
No

FOR EVERYBODY: Are you under the impression that Australians drink a lot and swear alot because of what you have seen or heard about the ad?
Yes
A little
I do believe they drink and/or swear a lot, but not because of what i've seen in or heard about the ad.
No
Undecided
I just want to say that Australia is a wonderful country and please I urge you NOT to let the ad be the thing that stops you from visiting Australia because Australia is a wonderful, beautiful country. The people who say 'bloody hell' in a real Aussie accent just happen to be the people who are the most down-to-earth and appreciative people of their country. They are quite friendly and welcoming, despite what you hear from their mouths.
OK
