- People from other countries were like,
"You're the country with the prime minister
"that bit into the onion."
- Today we are playing Trivia Timeline News Edition.
(upbeat music)
We're gonna arrange news events
from the last 10 years in chronological order.
- I'm very good at trivia.
I'm very competitive about trivia.
On my CV under other interests,
I've written pub trivia. (laughing)
- The only real news I get is from social media.
And we know that's not that trustworthy.
- I think I should do pretty well.
Australia has three different prime ministers in one year.
So that would be, well, it depends
how you define different prime ministers, I'm thinking.
(clicking tongue)
- I feel like this is around like the 2012 mark.
- Well, it could be Gillard, Rudd, Abbott,
which was the 2013 election.
I'm gonna put that 2013, can I change it once I put it on?
- I'm so sorry.
I don't care.
(whimsical music)
- Same sex marriage is legalized in Australia,
that was 2017.
- [Chorus Of Men] Oh, yeah!
- Australia suffers the strawberry needle crisis.
This was traumatic.
For anyone that doesn't know,
basically, people were going around
and putting needles into strawberries.
There was a huge drop in like, strawberry prices
and it was affecting strawberry farmers.
It was an epidemic, it was chaos.
Australia's one messed up place.
- Julia Gillard replaces Kevin Rudd as prime minister.
So I was on exchange in Berlin when this happened, in 2010.
(upbeat music)
- Carbon Tax was like, 2014.
- Bob Hawke passes away.
That was like, yesterday so that's 2019.
I was sitting on the couch when that happened.
- Rest in peace.
- Okay, Julia Gillard delivers her misogyny speech.
I was at the library when I saw this.
So that's probably 2012 or 2011.
I might hold that for now.
All right.
- Same sex marriage is legalized in Australia.
I'm going to push the needle thing.
(wacky music)
I'm just trying to think, this is really bad.
Queer man, don't know things.
I think this was 2018.
Yeah 2016, I'm gonna go.
- (sighing) Sydney's lockout laws are introduced.
(dramatic music)
So the Sydney lockout laws,
are basically laws that restrict drinking.
So you can't get a takeaway bottle after 10 p.m.
and you can't go into certain bars
and stuff after a certain hour.
That could be 2014, actually.
I'm gonna do 2014.
(upbeat music)
- Tony Abbott bites a raw onion.
Don't know, frankly don't care.
- Okay, the carbon tax is introduced.
So that was during Gillard,
so that's either 2011 or 2012.
I reckon that was before the misogyny speech,
so I'm gonna put it 2011,
and the other one 2012.
(dramatic music)
- Sydney lockout laws are introduced.
(whistles)
2015 and I remember this
because I interviewed a girl at the uni pub.
- Australia suffers the strawberry-needle crisis.
Well, that was last year.
It's hard to forget.
And I remember that because I had just started at BuzzFeed.
So that was about a year ago,
and we were talking about how to cover it
and there was a lot of strawberry-needle coverage.
(laughs)
- Julia Gillard replaces Kevin Rudd, I'm gonna go with 20.
Okay, Tony Abbott this is gonna move.
I'm gonna move you to 2013
'cause you weren't around for a while.
- Tony Abbott bites into a raw onion.
So that's obviously when Abbott is prime minister.
Which stopped being the case in 2015, I think.
Yep.
- Johnny Depp and Amber Heard apologize
for bringing their dogs into Australia illegally.
Another thing I remember so vividly
because it was such a thing.
- Johnny Depp and Amber Heard brought Pistol and Boo,
their cute, well Amber Heard's cute dogs
in on a private jet when they were here filming something.
And then Barnaby Joyce threatened to have the dogs murdered.
Then in some sort of legal settlement,
they had to film a video apologizing
for breaching our bio security laws.
And so they made a very intense and very stupid video
about how Australia is a beautiful island
and you can't breach its bio security.
And I think that was 2016.
(wacky music)
- I think this was 2016 'cause I'm gonna go
same sex marriage legalized in 2017.
And then yes, that's right.
And then this was in 2016,
'cause I was in uni.
Or maybe these all just need to move back a year.
- I know that the raw onion happened before 2016
because I went overseas in 2016
and people from other countries were like,
"You're the country with the Prime Minister
"that bit into the onion."
- Final one, Julia Gillard has her misogyny speech.
So I'm gonna go like this.
And move this around.
And then put that back.
The onion thing definitely happened a little bit later.
And I feel like this is either here or here.
I'm locking in my answers.
- First two thirds that I'm not exactly sure about
but I think I did pretty well.
(upbeat music)
- All right, 2010 Julia Gillard replaces Kevin Rudd
as prime minister, true or false?
(bell ringing)
Boy, yeah!
- Ooh, correct.
(bell ringing)
- 2011.
(buzzing)
The carbon tax is introdu.
- Correct.
(bell ringing)
Correct.
(bell ringing)
- Julia Gillard
(buzzing)
delivers her misogyny speech.
All right, boom.
(buzzing)
Australia has wow.
2011 and 2013 was one blur of a year politically for me.
- Correct!
(laughs) (bell ringing)
(bell ringing)
Oh, this is also correct.
- Sydney lockout laws
(buzzing)
are introduced, damn!
Tony Abbott bites a raw onion so I'm close.
(bell dinging)
- Is it funny if I get them all right?
- Johnny Depp come on.
You! (bell ringing)
(bell ringing)
- Yeah, that's correct too.
Okay, yes.
(bell ringing)
(bell ringing) yeah.
10 out of 10, go me.
- Must be right.
You! (bell ringing)
- Yes, I have always been a nerd.
And this is only further evidence.
(laughing)
- 2011 to 2015 is one big blur.
And I owe it all to goo.
The sweet, sweet nectar of my youth.
- [Producer] So, Zot got five.
- Out of 10?
(laughs) - Yeah.
- Embarrassing.
- Got 50% so I'm pretty like proud of that.
- Well, I guess I should be on the news team.
I think I was always gonna do the best, yeah.
