I thoroughly enjoyed reading your story. Thank you.

Love your work, a great display of Oz culcha, donchathink?

Trouble is, it's very close to the truth!

10 years ago my daughter called me a bogan. After reading this story, I now know who a bogan is. It is certainly not me. I have all of my own teeth!

Please keep them coming...

If it was not for the peculiar vocabulary found in the land down under, these people could be good citizens anywhere. Well anywhere that has a well organized welfare culture, which is most anywhere these days.

Fun read as usual and I appreciate the new terms (new to me) Bogans and Housos. I will use them when appropriate while watching our stolen flat screen telly just to confuse my sheila.

The bogan I met before was a evil magical creature, a step down from a Pagan god

in some fantasy stories by Glenn Cook. I wonder if he has any Australian moments in his file. Interesting apresentation of the world of state housing.

Because I wanted more stories about Dazza, Shazza and Bazza. They were funny.

Unless it is an electric car the only motors in it are the ones for the fan/heat/AC and the windshield wipers.

The thing that powers it down the road is called an engine.

Beautifully painted scene of this segment of society. Well done

Nicely done, but it needs to be pointed out that only a minority of public housing tenants are like that, and not all that are like that are in public housing. One of the worst things about living in public housing is that it is stigmatised, and this can make it hard for public tenants to find jobs etc. even though they may be as good as anybody else.

I doudt that Miranda could have got into Uni from that background. How would she have been able to study enough in that household to get a good TER (Tertiary Entrance Score? especially as she was spending so much time working at Maccas. Education has become pretty unequal in Australia, with the poorer State schools badly underfunded. By the way "Matriculation" is a term not used these days in NSW.

Still an amusing story, but not to be taken as reality.

You have to agree that was funny! Go the ANZACS Got to love our BRO'S across the ditch! Keep up the good work. Got to love my own country! Hey want to buy a Near New Prime Minister? Nah Just pulin ya chain.
