They are divided into 13 categories, dealing with such wide-ranging themes as surfing, blokes, women, politics and philosophy, as well as with specific Australian geographic zones. While set in a framework of fluffy and brainless disposable entertainment, it nevertheless also holds up a mirror to contemporary Australian society, and derides some of its less desirable and unsavoury characteristics.
