Hehe, an Indian Taxi Driver... but not sure they need one as everything is within walking distance!
Umm, Yeah Josh "Quong" Tart is indeed part Chinese. I read somewhere that he is a descendant of prominent Chinese Australian Mei Quong Tart, who ran a popular tea house in the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney, and was also an early Chinese ambassador to Australia! |

| Sweetbabyangelo, there was a character by the name of Charlotte some years ago. She was Asian. She was a doctor before Rachel came to the bay and she drowned. |

| It would be impossible for them to show all cultures at once, that would equal confusion and it would be too obvious. Most of Australia is white, so mostly white is represented but through the years they have had various cultures. What they havent had much of though are immigrants from the UK who still make the majority of newcomers to Australia. |

| Well, Australia sell's quite a lot of stuff to China (especially raw materials). Maybe if they added a Chinese family to the cast,it could help Ch7 flog the show to a Chinese network... |

| Josh Quong Tart is indeed part Asian in heritage - I believe the Quong is a 'kick back' to this Asian heritage. |

Yeah, Charlotte was Vietnamese if I'm not mistaken. Also, I believe Josh Quong Tart/Miles is part Asian in real life.
And I agree, I would love to see a little more diversity in the show. Not the token character, but a whole family would be refreshing. It'd be interesting to see the writers touch on racism a little more too. They play it safe too much of the time, there's a million stories out there!! Not everyone is a blonde haired blue eyed super buff supermodel who lives on a beach. |

| I was wondering why H&A has never had a Chinese actor or actress. Jai is the closest to Asian they can get. I mean why can we have Chinese people. I'm chinese and would love it if a chinese girl was on H&A |
