"What's My Line" Inspiration

A classic American game-show was What's My Line where a 4 member panel had to guess the occupation of various guests.



One of the sharpest and wittiest American comedians was Groucho Marx. Groucho appeared on the show a few times. On one occasion he was a panel member. The first mystery guest was a "jail warden" from New Jersey whose physical appearance was uncannily similar to that of the USSR's president Nikita Krushchev. At the time that the Groucho episode was broadcast Krushchev was visiting the USA.



When it was Groucho's turn to pose a question to the Krushchev lookalike he asked (see the youtube clip):



"Are you a corrupt politician - or am I being redundant?"



Here we will have the audacity to explore this question:

"Are the ministers of the NSW State Government confused and clueless about how to administer the state - or are we merely being redundant?"
