    THE Opposition and Family First Senator Steve Fielding has slammed the use of strong language in the Government’s latest ad, saying it makes a mockery of the recent Respect campaign.

    Family First Senator Steve Fielding warned the ad campaign will make parents and teacher’s jobs much harder.

    “Parents already face an up hill battle trying to stop their young kids from swearing and these ads make this job even tougher,’’ Senator Fielding said.

    “I think the person who approved these ads has been watching too much of Gordon Ramsay.’‘

    Mr Fielding says some common sense needs to be used in sending out road safety message.

    “I don’t think the latest round of ads which make use of profanity will do anything to stop drivers from using their mobile phones or speeding,’’ he said.
