Mr John Clarke

We had a fantastic response to our last quiz and we thank everyone who entered. The winner was Phillip Island, of Phillip Island. For the record, the answers were as follows:

  1. Wilson Tuckey. A nation mourns.

  2. George Pell, Laurie Oakes and a crocodile. Andrew Wilkie, Rob Oakeshott and Adam Bandt were not given much television time. They were candidates.

  3. The picture shows Mark Latham. A Catherine Wheel is a firework which rotates at high speed, giving off lovely colours and sparks.

  4. True. Antony Green drives to work without the use of graphics.

  5. False. The photo does not show the Myer Music Bowl. It is Bob Katter holding a tray.

  6. The photos shows (L to r) Bill Shorten, Mark Arbib, Golden Staph, David Feeney, Herpes Simplex, Don Farrell, Karl Bitar and the H1N1 virus.

  7. True. The ABC has an exciting new series of promos. They feature people throwing themselves sideways; a metaphor for the meaninglessness of the human condition.

  8. The Ring Cycle by Wagner. It is an epic opera made up of four parts; Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, Siegfried and Gotterdmmerung. When performed in full it takes 15 hours, a fortnight less than an Australian election.

  9. False. At no stage of the federal election did the Widow Twankey come on stage saying ‘Now, where did I put my ETS?’ and all the children yell out ‘It’s behind you!’

  10. The NSW state government. As is. Where is. No roadworthy. Some rust.

  11. Kevin Rudd. While you were out Acme Plumbing called. Will have a quote for you by Thursday.

  12. Bill Heffernan. The others are the Cape Barren, the Canada, and the Grey.

  13. Incorrect. A witness protection programme sequesters persons in society, provides them with safety, cover and an income. The ALP Brains Trust is a highly respected body, doing vitally important work. There are no parallels of any kind.

  14. False. Climate change deniers are not a type of stocking.

  15. False. Rail Debacle is not the name of the company.

  16. True. John Howard encouraged people to invest in Telstra stock. It would be a great investment for mums and dads, he said, and the sale would benefit all Australians. Mr Howard was the Prime Minister.

  17. False. Dick Smith does not determine ABC broadcasting policy.

  18. False. John Elliott is not the host of Q and A. He is there to provide balance. If they have someone on the panel with professional expertise or a rational mind, they call John immediately.
