What's the most common name for a Prime Minister?

Australia has had 31 Prime Ministers thus far - but how many of them share a name? Well, you'll be surprised just how incredibly popular one name is compared to every other. Yes, this is a bit of a silly one but there's a few fun facts in there about names. 

There's a few minor sound glitches, so I'll have to check my lapel - but one fun thing that didn't make it in the edit due to sound problems was that Joseph Lyons' name is Aloysius, which is a Latinisation of names like Luigi. I think that's a very cool name and also want to imagine him playing Mario Kart.
