Wanganui 

A town on the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand.

Great place to reside if you're a scum bag, beneficiary, criminal, or arsehole, then you can spend your weekends pissing your welfare money up against the wall at Moda or the Bull 'n' Gate.

Or you can stay at home and watch our gay mayor on dancing with the stars.

Well worth the journey........... my hairy nuts, It think it would be a much better town if we shot dead all the welfare bludging assholes, and turned castlecliff into a fenced off ghetto.

Other than that, nice place...really it is.

Mayor of Wanganui Michael Laws - "Damm i look good in spandex and makeup"

Member of the mongrel mob - " Lets go have a drink at Moda and spend all this hard earned welfare money"

A unique breed found in Australia, the average Wogan is something of a hybrid between a bogan, a wog and a wigger.
Wogan is the term used for people, often of Greek, Italian or similar descent, who are obsessed with crappy cars and dress in brands like Adidas, Eminem, Holden or Fubu, often decked out in bling. One celebrity example of a Wogan is Ali G. Likely to be heard saying things such as 'Fully Sick Moite!!'
Person 1: Ugh, check out those guys in that blinged up Commodore over there.
Person 2: Yuck, what wogans.
