of Logan is located between Queensland’s capital
of Brisbane, and the diverse localities; Gold Coast, Redlands, Ipswich and the Scenic Rim. Logan has a population of 334,358 people, comprising 217 nationalities and cultures, with approximately 50% of residents aged 30 or younger (Logan

portrayed as "Brazen youth gangs terrorising Brisbane” through NewsComAu website
in 2018, and was ranked as Brisbane’s top suburbs for
and home theft insurance claims published by M. Dennien in 2020. Yet, the members of Logan have reputations of shit-faced and intergenerational welfare dependency (N. Brown, 2020). As media outlets
