On topic it is never above some bogan from the suburbs to rises above the reality that he/she should not be allowed to leave the country as they will made a national disgrace of themselves. From the images I saw of this buzz cut Aussie fella he was too full of Tsingdao to control himself and was not happy with the direction uncle was taking in getting him down to lockhart road...
