Australian Quiz Champion

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]

From 2007 the highest-scoring Australian at the World Quizzing Championship has been recognised as the national champion.
