I have just finishing reading this book. It is a gripping, at times sad funny tale of one of Australia's funny men.
He makes his living now as a comic and he certainly tells a good story.
One particular story is about how his younger brother was dressed as a girl for two or three years. I had heard this before but didn't know why. In the book it is explained. When they arrived in Australia and were put into refugee housing, this was several years ago and not as many people. A church group was told about this family but somehow the structure of the family was mixed up and for the Do family a clothing package arrived for a couple and one small boy about three and a small girl about eighteen months old.
The family were grateful for the clothing and although they had two boys they used the clothing and dressed the younger one in dresses until the father was employed and they no longer got the care packets.
Its a very good read.
