The Aussie (Bogan-ised) Citizenship Test

My friends in New York keep telling me how much they love Australia and that they really have a deep connection with the Land Down Under...all from watching Crocodile Dundee and few eps of Summer Heights High and We Can Be Heroes. Everyone here loves Aussies and wants to vacay  slash work slash live in Australia...because we are like "so cool and chillaxed"...right on!!!

So, I remember being forwarded this Aussie Citizenship Test years ago during the debate over the government wanting to test all migrants before entering Australia...which I totally think is fair. 

But the spoof test basically is a Bogan-ised version of the Aussie Citizen Test. So I put it out there to all my American friends...if you can pass this test, you are a "True Blue Fair Dinkum Aussie"!!!
