wog is extremely audience specific. You trot that in melbs and it’s often nbd because it’s considered by many to be a reclaimed slur by the community. You say that in any other state and it’s considered reason to punch your teeth in.
“paki” reads to some as australian shorthand, of the kind we are renowned for. It’s really fucking not.
Any rate, there is zero good faith reason to use either word when talking to a fucking cop about a taxi fare.
I live in Adelaide so maybe the culture is different, but calling random people “wogs” has never been acceptable here. The word is acceptable in certain circles - for example, I have played football at many Greek and Italian heritage clubs and it was fine to distinguish between the “wogs” and the “Aussies” in the team - but I can’t imagine anyone is comfortable with strangers randomly calling them “wog” on the street. Especially if it’s confrontational/aggressive.
