'''Michael "Mickey" Gannon''' is a fictional character in the Australian soap opera [[Neighbours]], played by [[child actor]] Fletcher O'Leary. He first appeared in [[June 2007]].

==Geography==

Lazio is divided into five provinces:

[[Image:Latium Provinces.png|350px]]

*[[Province of Frosinone|Frosinone]]

*[[Province of Latina|Latina]]

*[[Province of Rieti|Rieti]]

*[[Province of Rome|Rome (Roma)]]

*[[Province of Viterbo|Viterbo]]

==Character Biography==

Mickey first appeared when his mother, Kirsten ([[Nikola Dubois]]), came to Erinsborough to find Mickey's father, Kirsten's ex-boyfriend [[Ned Parker]] ([[Daniel O'Connor]]). Kirsten claimed she needed time alone to grieve for her grandparents, and needed Ned to looked after Mickey. Ned, not even aware he was a father, agreed, but it became obvious that he didn't know the first thing about looking after Mickey, and his dog Jake.

After an incident in which Mickey lost his dog, Ned and his son bonded. However, not long after, Kirsten called, explaining she needed more time alone, possibly leaving Ned with the child indefinitely. In a later episode Kirsten re-appeared and told Ned it was time for her to live her life, seemingly leaving Mickey with Ned permanently.

==Economy==

With the exception of Rome, the region's economy has been unchanged in the last decades. Agriculture, crafts, animal husbandry and fishery are the main traditional sources of income.

Agriculture is characterized by the cultivation of wine grapes, fruit, vegetables and olives.

Industrial development in Latium is fairly recent and closely limited to the areas south of Rome. Communications have also been an influence, favouring the areas with the best links to Rome and those near the Autostrada del Sole (motorway), especially around Frosinone. Firms are often small to medium in size and operate in the building and building materials ([[Rome]], [[Civitavecchia]]), paper ([[Frosinone]]), petrochemical ([[Gaeta]], [[Rome]]), textile ([[Frosinone]]), engineering ([[Rieti]], [[Anagni]]), automobile ([[Cassino]]), motorcycle ([[Aprilia]]), electronic and electrotechnical ([[Viterbo]]) sectors.

Ned decides to tell Micky he is his father over a special dinner, however Mickey falls into the number 30 pool trying to rescue a dead bird (that has died due to faulty wiring on the pool's light) - Mickey's life hung in the balance and sent Ned distraught.

Mickey makes a recovery and doctors give him the all-clear. Ned comes clean that he is Mickey's father. Mickey is overwhelmed, but Janae shys aways behind the door feeling pleased for both of them.

Approximately the 73% of the working population is employed in the services sector; this is a considerable proportion, but is justified by the presence of the capital, which is the core of public administration, banking, tourism, insurance and other sectors. Many national and multinationals corporations, public and private, have their headquarters in Rome ([[ENI]], [[Enel]], [[Finmeccanica]], [[Alitalia]], [[RAI]]).

When Janae breaks the word that she may be leaving Erinsborough, Mickey is in tears and wets the bed. He finds himself in more sticky situations when a young bully (Max) vandalises his picture at Vacation Care. Following this incident Mickey accidentally wets himself and has the bully heckling him. When Ned and Janae arrive Ned faces off with Max's father but Janae prevents a punch-up.

==Politics==

Historically, Rome is center-left-politically oriented even the rest of Latium is center-right oriented. At the [[Italian general election, 2006|April 2006 elections]], Latium gave 50.2% of its votes to [[Silvio Berlusconi]].

After Janae's boxing match, a change of heart takes effect and Janae decides to stay, she couldn't make up her mind completely until Janelle forces her to see if Ned's feelings are the real thing.

==Demographics==

The population distribution is clearly influenced by Rome, where 55% of the population is concentrated. The presence of the capital of Italy gives Latium the fourth highest density of population in the country. As of 2006, the Italian national institute of statistics ISTAT estimated that 275,065 foreign-born immigrants live in Latium, equal to 5.2% of the total regional population.

Mickey's first day of school leads to devastating effects when Janae gives misconstrued advice about how to handle difficult people. Mickey comes under threat of expulsion if further trangressions continue. Unfortunately Mickey seems to see that the bullying showed people he wasn't intimidated and Ned feeling as he failed as a father. He makes it clear that he and he only will be the sole authority from now on.

Towns of Latium with a population of 50,000 or more:

More recently, Mickey accidently reversed a truck into a mini-bus full of several characters on their way home from the Yeats wedding. Could this be storyline be like that of the [[Neighbours Plane Crash]]?
