1 form y separately published work icon Compo Claim No. Z84 Abe Pogos , ( dir. Nigel Buesst ) 1988 Melbourne : Sunrise Pictures Company , 1988 Z1367061 1988 single work film/TV humour

Set in a government unemployment-compensation office, Compo explores the conflict between optimism and ideology as it rubs up against the cold harsh reality of everyday life. Paul Harper is a university graduate with all sorts of wonderful notions as to how to better the lot of his fellow men. When he takes a public service position and dispenses 'compo' to the laid-off and the fired, he begins to take issue with the bureaucracy and poor management attending his job. Before long, his idealism has been hammered into plodding conformity ... or has it?
