I was born here and, apart from failing this, don't understand some of the questions.

There are a couple I can't answer either, but that's part of the fun. I'm not a beer drinker and don't pay attention to the footy or cricket anymore, so I lose out there.

Which questions you having probs with?

No problem understanding the questions, but nope, can't answer a few of them - not even at a guess.

For example: did Warnie EVER have good hair year? Jeez, who knew! Which year?

If it was a true 'Australianess' test it would have three options for answers:

a. True
b. False
c. Maybe

The last one I use to get 50% right (or is that wrong?, Glasss half full/half empty argument I guess)

1. Does the ute have heavy duty springs? Is it a trayback or tub body? Stuff the esky - just fill the tub body with a pallet of beer and dump the ice on it ready to go. The bluey can sit up front.
2. I may as well shit in the esky too if I'm going to put crap like beer in it. Esky's are for steak. The beer goes in the back of the ute.
3. C
4. Enough for most wannabes with 7 mates to get spastic with (3 each).
5. True :)
6. C
7. B
8. I say 'B' but brother cooks according to smoke detector.
9. Itchy, Scratchy, Bozo. Who fucking cares!
10. The one, the only, Bonn Scott!
11. E) Not having to hang around all the dumb pricks wasting their afternoon with shit beer and cricket.

13. Who cares.
14. Who's drinking them? 1 for some - 6-pack for others.
15. Husband and wife in Tasmania. Bro & sis everywhere else.
16. C) none - masks the taste of the roo meat too much.
17. D) Hope I wasn't there.
18. A snivelling, crying sook!
19. Uh.... yeah.... :(
20. B
21. Fuck Warnie. So what if he can chuck a ball - what else is he good for? Give the prick a shovel and tell him to dig a hole because that's all he'd be doing if he couldn't chuck that stupid ball in that mind-numbingly boring game!
22. G) Pissing people off during an Aussie questionaire :)
23. Once!
24. FUCK NO! That song SUCKS. It might have been good at one time in it's life but it has been PLAYED TO DEATH by arsewipe radio stations that think that Cold Chisel (fronted by some untalented howler) only had one goddamn song! Must be drunk to sing with this shit.
25. Cricket... who cares!
26. Me. Appetite. some other shit.... :)
27. I guess Makybe Diva could actually catch a ball... I wonder if Warnie would try to crack onto Wikikamukow (or however you spell that...)
28. D) All of the above - so that you can go for a blast in the car somewhere while all the cops are at the cricket trying to keep the drunks awake.
29. Irish Polar Beer. Someone told him to go looking for a penguin to eat. Got lost.
30. The state you order it in - yet both are filled with crap that isn't even fit for degreaser.
31. Like poofters who shove gerbils up their arses - they shove budgies down their y-fronts to see if it'll sit on the perch :)

Two relatives dead defending PNG in WWII, another who survived fighting in Greece, Crete, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon & PNG during WWII and yet another who survived Vietnam. And I think I can only answer about five of your questions. Does this disqualify me, or do I get exemptions for blood relatives fighting for Australia in the right wars?
