For a country which throws around the c-word like it's going out of fashion, Australians won't be able to hear it said in the critically-acclaimed Lady Bird.
Greta Gerwig's Oscar-nominated film has been cut by Universal Pictures to satisfy an M rating in the country, replacing the word "c**t" with "cooze" and removing some explicit nudity, as noted first by Facebook page Media Censorship in Australia (https://www.facebook.com/MediaCensorshipInAustralia/posts/1481849745257561).

That's compared to the U.S., where the film has been given an R rating by the MPAA. *
As noted by Filmink (https://www.filmink.com.au/oscar-nominated-film-censored-australian-audiences/), who contacted the Australian Classification Board for clarification, Lady Bird was initially rated MA 15+ on Jan. 23, which means that it can only be seen by people above the age of 15, or those under with a parent or guardian.
