Oh that co payment debacle!! I still remember watching in embarrassment as he tried to explain to Barack Obama & other world leaders what trouble he was having getting a co-payment through.... as if he or any of them cared?! Please go away Tony.

Some of the questions could be phrased better, but overall it's OK.
I landed dead smack in the middle of the grid.
Is one still allowed to refer to commentators on the ABC website in that way, Stui?

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Don’t want to nitpick and I know this stuff is always relative, but it’s a weird diagram. For one thing, the Greens are further from the centre than One Nation (no offence to the ABC, but if you think the Greens are the most extreme left you can possibly get ... you might need to get out more). For another, I think you could make the case that One Nation are actually at least slightly economically to the left of the Coalition. And lastly, it scored me closer to bloody
Labor than the Greens!!!!

It is relative and based on perspective. Lets just assume that the socialist alliance and the white supremacists are off that grid.
