In the first scene, we see Rory announcing that he is the Prime Minister, causing mayhem during little lunch when he begins to use his prime-ministerial powers to do whatever he wants. Mrs Gonsha explains that a Prime-Minister must be elected by the people and suggests they hold their own election. Later in the episode, we see Rory give his speech, winning the class vote by a landslide.

Reflect

• What’s the role of the Prime Minister in Australia? Can the Prime Minister do whatever they want?
• What did Rory do when he said he was the Prime Minister at the beginning of the clip? How did everyone feel about it?
• Mrs Gonsha says that the Prime Minster has to be chosen by the people. What does this mean?
• The class held an election. What is an election? How did the class hold their own election?
• How did Rory try to get people to vote for him? Why do you think he won?
