IMO boganism permeates every level of society. Gerard Baden-clay may well be a bogan. I'm damn sure John Singleton is one...and possibly Rusty Crowe.
I call them professional australians along with Brian Brown and Jack Thompson.

In honour of this momentous occasion, I would like to nominate someone who I believe could easily be crowned The Hugest Bogan in Australia.


My nominee is one David Allen Baker Baldwin, currently residing in jail in Queensland. What follows is a transcript of one of his hearings for attempted murder. Read right to the bottom.

***warning*** very bad language!

Not giving anything away, but I thought he summed things up pretty good.

Julia Gillard is the biggest bogan in the history of the universe. Seeing as she screwed our way of life royally, I shall hold a BBQ and a party when this disgustign blood sucking succubus creature finally dies in a hole.
