If you don’t want to be mocked for being a bogan, don’t act like one.
SBS TV is making a series which is obviously a bit too close to home for some of the fine residents of Mt Druitt, in Sydney’s western suburbs. Called “Housos”, it is about the lives of housing commission residents living the suburban nightmare.
This week residents from a Department of Housing block in western Sydney got thousands of signatures on a petition calling on SBS to abandon the series. Local MP Richard Amery, who presented the petition in Parliament last week, said the series would ”deride decent people”. They also had federal member of Parliament, Ed Husic, on the case:
”Everyone likes a laugh but Housos seems to be labelling a particular type of person in a particular type of way and making fun of a situation they are in,’
Well, they are bogans, and if we can’t deride them, who can we? We have to have our little victories now, before the bogans take over.
You know you’re a bogan if you let your 15-year-old daughter smoke at the dinner table – in front of her kids.
