quicko: that was a question?

So at video trivia with Rufus last Thursday, there was this reasonably funny video clip of an Australian comedian talking about questions?  And how Australian pitch goes up at the end?  So everything sounds like a question?  Even when it's not?

Anyway, it was funny and more or less accurate and I really wanted to find the clip to repost it here, but google as I might I just couldn't find it.  Please let me know if you can though!

Oh, yeah.  And by the way.  Australian pitch really does go up at the end?

I think I've heard Adam Hills do comedy routines on that intonation stuff. It's really only true of poorly acted Australian television, although you will find Australians who actually do this.
