Australian Quiz Champion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the late 1940s and 1950s the Australian National Quiz Championships were run and broadcast live by ABC Radio.[1] The quiz was arranged to promote the Federal Government's security loans for post-war reconstruction.[2] Future Prime Minister Gough Whitlam was joint winner in 1948 and runner-up in 1949.
From 2007 the highest-scoring Australian at the World Quizzing Championship has been recognised as the national champion.
In 2024 Quizzing Australia launched a stand-alone domestic event, the Australian Quiz Championships.
