Jokes aside for a moment, here's a heart-felt salute to a unique Australian. A really great dame. These days, she's the housewife megastar. As famous in London and New York as she is back home in Moonee Ponds. And she's just returned in triumph to celebrate her golden jubilee - 50 fabulous years in the spotlight. She is, of course, Dame Edna Everage. A character so real, you often forget she's a work of fiction. The creation of that comic genius Barry Humphries, now hailed as one of the greatest comedians of all time. But try telling that to the diva and we can assure you, you're in for a world record dummy spit.
