Mr John Clarke

We had a fantastic response to our last quiz and we thank everyone who entered. The winner was A. Scotvale of Ascot Vale. Congratulations and well done.

1. True. The term 'Pup Marriage Shock' indicates that the wedding of the Australian cricket captain was a matter for the parties involved.

2. False. Wayne Swan's budget is not a palindrome. A palindrome reads the same backwards as it does forwards. Mr Swan's budget was written with the main point, the surplus, at the end, and then worked its way back to the beginning of the document, concluding with 'Good evening.' The budget is a model of its kind.

3. True. Bill Heffernan is an elected member of the Australian parliament.

4. False. There is no relationship between the Embattled Health Services Union, Embattled Speaker Peter Slipper, Embattled Wicket-keeper Brad Haddin, Embattled Media Supremo Rupert Murdoch, the Embattled Demons and Embattled Quality Journalism.

5. True. The Victorian budget is expected to be released from hospital on Thursday.

6. False. Bob Carr is not famous for being on 'The Voice'. He is the Australian Minister for Resonance.

7. True. Bill Shorten's twitter bio says 'Statements not yet made by the Prime Minister are entirely my own views'.

8. Jeff Brumby. Following a ten-year education programme teaching the community to use less water, he lifted water restrictions. Jeff Baillieu has carried on this valuable work.

9. True. If there had been a federal election last weekend, Channel 7's live coverage of AFL matches would have lost its seat.

10. True. The term 'First Lady' is used in international matters of state to denote a WAG. This is not discriminatory as it includes all women regardless of colour, race or creed.

11. False. The picture shows Peter Costello, a retired member of parliament. A sulky is a two-wheeled cart, often drawn by a horse.

12. True. Someone attempting to discredit prostitutes has attempted to link them with Craig Thomson by alleging that his credit card was used to purchase sex. Even Mr Thomson has now admitted that no such sex took place.

13. False. Angela Merkel is not planning to replace the Euro with the Michaelkroger. 'We're in enough trouble already' said a spokesman.

14. True. Campbell Newman has cancelled the Queensland Premier's Literarian Rewards or whatever the hell they are.

15. False. Julie Bishop is not leaving politics to become a Wiggle.

16. False. Rebekah Brookes and David Cameron are not in The Wiggles either. Wriggles has an R in it.

17. True. AFL team songs, as performed by winning sides in the dressing room afterwards, have no actual notes.

18. The picture shows the Greek economy (actual size). The eBay auction finishes on Thursday.

19. False. The fact that 'Britain's Got Talent' was won by a small dog does not indicate that dogs are more talented than people. Britain is going through a difficult patch at the moment.

20. True. Tony Abbott has announced a plan to increase the teaching of languages other than English. Martin Ferguson and Barnaby Joyce are both believed to have cancelled all their other appointments.
