"You mustn't judge Australia by the Australians."

—Dame Edna Everage

Humphries once said that, of all his comic creations, Sir Les Patterson was the one that Australians found most offensive — possibly because it was just too close to the bone.

It was also the character Humphries, by his own admission, found the most enjoyable to inhabit.

"No story is too filthy, no gesture too lewd, no idea too racist," he told the 2008 documentary The Man Inside Dame Edna.

"I met Barry Humphries only about twice in my life, and it was two times too many. He's up himself, and I don’t get the point of him."

— Sir Les Patterson

Humphries had intended to skewer the 1950s' white culture he called "the age of Laminex" but came to love and empathise with Sandy Stone as he moved closer in age to his comic creation, who officially died in the 1970s, but came back to the stage and screen as a ghost.

"Over there somewhere is our old Astor 21-inch TV set. We bought it in the 1950s to watch the Melbourne Olympic Games. We saw Lorraine Crapp on that. Several times in black and white."

— Sandy Stone"

Brilliant Kenj, cheers for posting those.
