Storyteller in Australia reprimanded (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liar

'storyteller' is the definition.
(someone telling lies)

'in australia reprimanded' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'LIAR' is hidden in the letters of 'australia reprimanded'.

(Other definitions for liar that I've seen before include "Storyteller" , "man of fiction?" , "not straight [one]" , "Person telling stories" , "One supplying pork pies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
