The makers of an Australian reality television show are trawling Tasmania for "bogans" to appear in their new comedy. It may not be central casting, but the SBS producers obviously think a classified ad in Wednesday's Hobart Mercury will do just as well. "BOGANS WANTED - For New TV S...

MESSAGE TO THE AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC The federal government will be sending a $1,400.00 rebate to many of us .. If we spend that money at K-Mart, the money will go to China.

It occurs to me that travelling is great fun, but there is a lot of free time. At home there are always jobs to be done, so on the road what do you do "for you"? Monica knits for charity, Gary runs his business, Dave socialises - so do you have something of interest that you do, in between sight see...

'Fred what?' the officer asks. 'Just Fred,' the man responds. The officer is in a good mood and thinks he might just give the biker a bre...

I'm pleased it's done but I don't think the eye for an eye approach works. I'd have prefered to see them made "incommunicado" for a while.... I wonder did they get their 99 virgins or whatever, what a laugh. I just wonder also why we Aussies keep supporting a culture that condones these acts...
