Communications Minister Stephen Conroy drops F-word on TV
THE minister in charge of Australia's broadcasting standards has dropped the F-word live on national television during children's viewing hours.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy was answering a question at the National Press Club in Canberra today about the risk for investment in Australia when he used the word.
"In terms of sovereign risk, I love the debate about sovereign risk," he said.
"I have seen a new definition of sovereign risk, it is assymetrical.
"If a tax goes up, God, that is sovereign risk. But if a tax goes down, f...ing fantastic."
He quickly added: "Excuse me".
The next program on the ABC's schedule was the G-rated Meerkat Manor, an animal show popular with young children.
Senator Conroy, who kept his job yesterday's cabinet reshuffle, is the minister overseeing broadcasting standards.

LMAO Southee.
What were your kid's views on Conroy's approach to Sovereign Risk?
It's not a big deal realistically - News Ltd will cane him for it though given his strong stance against their reporting standards. The F-bomb is often audible in sports telecasts.
