What's the most common name for a Prime Minister?

from Auspol Explained · host David Cox

Australia has had 31 Prime Ministers thus far - but how many of them share a name? Well, you'll be surprised just how incredibly popular one name is compared to every other. Yes, this is a bit of a silly one but there's a few fun facts in there about names.  There's a few minor sound glitches, so I'll have to check my lapel - but one fun thing that didn't make it in the edit due to sound problems was that Joseph Lyons' name is Aloysius, which is a Latinisation of names like Luigi. I think that's a very cool name and also want to imagine him playing Mario Kart.   Support the channel on patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AuspolExplained Like Auspol Explained on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Auspol-Expla... Auspol Explained would like to acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people and their Elders as the owners and custodians of the Land that the video was filmed and edited on. This Land was stolen and never ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
