Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast this week coming to you live from NaNo!

0:33.0

My name is Dan Schreiber. I am sitting here with Anna Toshinsky and Drew Huntson Murray and James Harkin.

0:40.0

And once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in a particular order, here we go.

0:49.0

Starting with fact number one and that is Anna.

0:53.0

My fight this week is that in 2015 paramedics in Australia stopped asking patients to name the Prime Minister as a test of mental capacity.

1:03.0

Because the answer changes so often, it's no longer considered a reliable indicator.

1:11.0

It's amazing.

1:12.0

Absolutely. And it's true isn't it? Australia is constantly trading its PM.

1:17.0

In fact there's a Twitter account which is called at who is PM where it gives basically half hourly updates going it's still Scott Morrison.

1:26.0

So what you're saying is if you're in some kind of problem the paramedics come along you have to go I'm just need to go on Twitter really.

2:19.0

It was five PMs in five years if you count Rudd twice which you could because many people say he's sort of got two different personalities.

2:27.0

What's amazing is none of us in this room really know anything about him but we all knew it anyway.

2:33.0

It could be worse if you're in Nepal for instance and you get caught in an accident but they since they became a democracy in 1951 they've had 53 changes of government.

2:43.0

That's a lot.

2:45.0

Yeah that's tough although if Australia kept up it's one a year which it hasn't actually since 2015 but you know it would be beating Nepal.
