Nah, swearing is pretty standard in Aus ..... time and place of course, but still every-dayish behaviour
'Bloody hell' may not even be considered swearing, but irrespective it's very tame compared to the catalogue of available expressions, and it's definitely not blasphemy any more, although decades back it probably was.
