There are a bunch of us in society who will never be able to claim any of these things, and they are:
- childless;
- working full or > 50% part time in a lower to middle pay bracket;
- not able to afford to buy a property;
- able-bodied;
- without private health insurance; and
- may have a degree,
ie, me, and my husband. We get nothing! My degree was paid for though, but that’s not welfare. We are neither of us eligible for middle class welfare.

“Affluenza” is a great book on Bogan consumerism and has a chapter on middle class welfare. I recommend it.

Governments don’t like people who can think, and the Australian government likes to buy their votes.

My mistake. It should have read, “how would the bogan’s instincts be fed, and what would it talk about with its friends…”

I’m in Broadbeach and live in a complex of old people. The only bogan in the building is my new flatmate. A 23 year old hairdresser from Newcastle who has no volume button.
Who evidently doesn’t know where the bins, letterbox, or vacuum are located. And who thinks I am “doer/supplier of all things I can’t be bothered doing/buying for myself”.
Yes, my resentment is rising.
At least I get my hair done for free.

Maybe there are a lot of bogans in your suburb, or they’re encroaching on your favourite hang-out spots.
