Apparently they have run out of questions on the John Howard Citizenship test which was applied today to new Australians in Victoria and Qld. See story here: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/10/01/2047833.htm

John Howard has asked dinky di, true blue, died in the wool
Strayans on OLO to come up with some real curly ones that would weed out undesirables. (he does after all decide who comes to these shores)
