Interesting that all the pictures on the notes are Prime Ministers. The US ones are all ex-presidents aren't they?
Politicians just aren't that important in Oz. I can name a bunch of modern ones, but start to struggle once I get pre-1978 (which is only about 6 guys). With a history of Prime Ministers that is only 110 years long it shouldn't be too hard, but I just don't think we (as a nation) care about them.
edit: 26 PMs to be exact:

and I could name from memory back to Gough Whitlam. I was 50/50 about McMahon, but prior to that, there are a few names I recognise but putting them in any kind of order - forget it.
