Has Australia lost its bloody banter? A nation grapples with an identity crisis while cracking a cold one : Comments

By Vince Hooper, published 20/9/2024

Dark clouds are looming, and I'm not talking about the usual summer bushfires. Nah, this is more serious, mate.

For to long racism, bigotry, disadvantage, misogyny and discrimination has existed in Australia, hidden behind a self serving mask of what could be termed "Aussie larrikinism". The Paul Hogan character Arthur Dunger was funny as, on our TV screens that is, but the real life Arthur Dunger's are anything but funny, hurtful obnoxious bastards with a mean streak running down their backs as they go around peddling hatred against anyone they consider to be, "not like them", and not up to their standard. I say, the quicker these hateful reprobates disappear from society, the better off we'll be.

Paul1405,
Accusing others to be what you are yourself is called hypocrisy ! How do you expect people to react when the likes of you only find fault in what is natural & instinctive ? Where many see a funny side you only see hate ! Not good ! No point, no sense whatsoever ! Stop pretending you care when you really only live for hate !

Nuremberg Dan, Nimbin Paul here,

Unlike you I wasn't born with a silver swastika in my mouth, and I didn't have an Uncle Adolf to pander to my every needs, but as a child I had a reasonable up and down existence which I can't complain about. I'm no victim, I have always been self reliant, provided for myself, unlike Indy who is now existing on crumbs from my tax table, more like a whole dinner plate full, sad really. I was forced to give Indy another chunk of my yummy tax cake just the other day, another schooner down at Gods Waiting Room for the old fella.

Well said.
I am lucky to be near the end of leaving this now humourless society however there have been plenty of laughs along the way for which I am very thankful.
Now cant say, cant do, without being attacked by some clowns, many of whom have no idea of how good life could be.
