Default Kiwi Rego plates too rude...

KIWI motorists are causing offence - not through bad driving, but through rude licence plates.
Adopting the Australian licence plate system of three letters and three numbers has led to a rise in the number of rude combinations on New Zealand's streets.
Personalised plates pulled off cars include DRGDLR, QUICKE and RNUDWN, according to New Zealand Transport Agency records.
Also stripped was the number plate H8PIGS, which was displayed on a former police car.
Since the Aussie look replaced the two letter, four number combination in 2001, the transport agnecy has also banned plates that threaten police and advertise drugs, along with 25 letter combinations like ARS, BUM, CUN, DUM, FAK and FAT.
These were chosen "because they are considered as either likely offensive or undesirable by a large number of vehicle owners", the agency told The Dominion Post.

Banned plates
ANC, ARC, ARS, ***, BAD, BAG, BAT, BRA, BUM, BUT, CNT, CUM, CUN, DUM, EBA, EZE, EZY, FAG, FAK, FAT, ******, FCM, FCN, FDA, ******, FUC, FUZ
Personalised plates that were issued and later recalled include: 18750 (American slang for police murder), 4QANC, 50KILA, DALIPS, DRGDLR, H8ACC, HOBNGR, JAPSUX, KCUFME, MDAFKR, OLDKNT, PIZZDA, PLICK, QUICKE, RNUDWN, RSWYPE, SIKCNT, TAMPON, TBAGGD and WEBUYP.
Is there any plates combos in Australia that are banned or just on a case ny case basis?
