Makes you cringe to be Australian, 26 October 1999
Author: Bernie-56 from Melbourne, Australia

Taken from news footage, TV shows and films of the era, Humphries has, with devilish cunning, picked out the worst of Australian 'culture' over 4 decades. And, unfortunately, it's all true. I've lived through three of the decades and can vouch that they are a true picture of ordinary Australian life. Very embarassing -- and very funny. My wife hated it, so it must be good. There's also a book of the series. Humphries is truly Australia's greatest comedian and social commentator. The only comfort is that the US and the UK were far, far worse but managed to keep it secret.
