Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast this week coming to you live from Nautilus!
My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with Anna Tyshinski,
Andrew Hunter Murray and James Harkin and once again we have gathered round the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in a particular order here we go!
Starting with fact number one and that is Anna!
My fact this week is that in 2015 paramedics in Australia stopped asking patients to name the Prime Minister as a test of mental capacity
because the answer changes so often it's no longer considered a reliable indicator.
That's amazing!
And it's true isn't it?
Australia is constantly trading its PM,
in fact there's a Twitter account which is called at whoispm where it gives basically half hourly updates going it's still Scott Morrison.
So what you're saying is
if you're in some kind of problem the paramedics come along you have to go I just need to go on Twitter really quick.
They did say I think the reason the particular paramedic who was interviewed and asked why I read this thing the reason that he said he stopped doing it was
because he'd actually had a patient whom he'd asked who's the Prime Minister and they just said I don't know I haven't watched the news today.
Very nice!
That's a strong answer.
I didn't really know how crazy Australia,
I don't know anything about Australian politics before this and so just to clarify it there's this big thing of ousting your predecessor.
So in 2010 Julia Gillard ousted Kevin Rudd and that was really exciting after only three years but then in 2013 Julia Gillard was ousted,
