The Outcasts of Foolgarah

A ‘illegal’ strike by two garbos has unexpected and far reaching consequences in this outrageous political satire. By turns, The Outcasts of Foolgarah is angry, funny, offensive, outrageous and disturbing.

On its first publication, Geoffrey Dutton wrote of The Outcasts of Foolgarah that it was ‘more genuinely Australian than They’re a Weird Mob and much wider in the range of its humour and satire than Here’s Luck.’ He went on. ‘They’re a Weird Mob caught the idiom but flattered us, Hardy knows the idiom even better and doesn’t flatter anyone.’ Certainly not politicians!
