(feels the hate of every Australian on the forums) EDIT just realised you said PM and not just MP, dreadfully sorry. |

John Curtin went for a week without sleep, trying to get the Aussies to pull out of WW2. He died a few days before the war ended. "Beer Sculling" is simply just a slang term for drinking as fast as you can. Sorta like the whole "Chug..chug...chug..." thing. |

Meh, it's a boring topic, but I just think some of our best deserve a bit of internet praise.
Here's my top 5:
1) John Curtin (Broke ties with Britain, and was indirectly killed in WW2
2) Gough Whitlam (2 words: IT'S TIME)
3) Paul Keating (Bastard John Howard took credit for his service to the economy)
4) Bob Hawke (Your typical Aussie; earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records for his beer sculling ability)
5) Harold Holt (Communist Spy: Look him up)
And my bottom 5:
1) Robert Menzies (No description needed)
2) John Howard (Bad track record, dug his own grave, credit thief)
3) Malcolm Fraser (Bastard boycotted Gough Whitlam)
4) Sir Edmund Barton (Racist Bastard - established "White Australia Policy")
5) RESERVED FOR KEVIN RUDD (Too right-wing for a Labor politician)
