Australia's first prime minister, Edmund 'Toby' Barton, was many things: A leader, a visionary and as one of his obituaries summed up, "a great Australian". And, according to author Matt Murphy, he was also "an outright drunk". ABC RN's Rear Vision. And Barton is far from an exception. Since colonial times, Australia has been a country soaked in booze, as drinking has been both a national pastime and a source of untold harm and tragedy. But is it finally starting to change? When the First Fleet set off from England 235 years ago, its cargo was indicative of the kind of country Australia would become. The first governor of the NSW colony, Arthur Phillip, insisted on bringing two years' worth of carefully rationed food for the new settlement, in case conditions were inhospitable for agriculture. He also took along four years' worth of rum. Mr Murphy, who wrote the book 'Rum: A Distilled History of Colonial Australia'.
It's hard to overstate how important booze was in the first few decades of the colony. The NSW Corps, or the permanent regiment of the British Army, became known as the Rum Corps because they controlled the access to alcohol. As the colony grew, rum was made locally and imported. But this wasn't the kind of rum we know today. During these early years of the colony, grog was also introduced to First Nations people, which had incredibly destructive effects. As the 19th century progressed, demand for rum dropped, but people kept turning to other varieties of alcohol. The social, economic and health tolls of this much alcohol across Australian society prompted various governments to try and curb drinking habits. But this came with mixed results. Richard Midford, an adjunct professor at Curtin University's National Drug Research Institute and a clinical psychologist. But the 'six o'clock swill', as it became known, had an unintended consequence - a culture of extremely heavy drinking developed, where workers would drink as much as they could between clocking off at 5pm and the 6pm bar closures. It was not pretty. Bars would lay sawdust on the floor to soak up patrons' urine and vomit, while many were refitted with tiled walls and floors (a feature which remains today) to make cleaning easier. In 1965, an unlikely invention was introduced to try to reduce drinking - the wine cask. Really, I mean disgustingly drunk, apparently. The stuff that's come out of parliament … There's a very strong culture of going out and deliberately getting drunk.

It's an odd time for supporters of the Blue Oval. In an effort to maximize profitability, the company announced that, in the 2020 model year, the only passenger car Ford will produce for the North American market is the iconic Mustang, choosing instead to focus on SUV and truck sales, which have been strongest for the company in the past few years. No more Edges, Fusions or Tauruses for Ford aficionados. If it isn't a truck, SUV, cross-over or a Mustang, it's not going to be on the showroom floor. While this makes sense from a financial point of view, the change brings an end to many beloved models for Ford fanatics. In this quiz, we'll be taking a look back at some of the cars that the company produced over the past decade. Some will be instantly familiar while some might be long forgotten, but they all had that big blue oval badge on them. We'll also be looking at the trucks, SUVs and cross-overs that have seemingly won the day as we shuffle through the past.
We have to believe, however, that market forces will change and some of the cars might make a comeback in the North American marketplace. After all, the only constant in the automotive business is change. But, hey, let's not call this a funeral - let's call it a celebration of the cars that moved America for decades! Let's have a quick Fiesta as we Focus on the cars that were created when Ford Flexed their muscles, looking for an Edge. We'll take an Expedition as we Explore Big Blue's inventory. We might even have to tame a Bronco or two along the way. Are you ready for this look back at the cars that were? Sure you are, so saddle up your Mustang, and let's ride! This car was a strong seller for most of its life, but sales were in decline when Ford pulled the plug in 2019. Can you name it?
The Ford Taurus, introduced in the 1999 model year, was a big model for the company, selling more than 1 million vehicles in its first three years.

Replacing the Taurus body style on the track, the Ford Fusion became the template for Ford NASCAR racers in 2006, the same year it was introduced. The Mustang replaced it for the 2019 racing year. One of the vehicles not affected by Ford's decision to restructure its inventory is the F-250 pickup, which, along with its F-350 and F-450 brothers, falls into the category of "Super Duty" pickups that have higher towing and payload capacity than the F-150. Now it's back! Which light pickup are we talking about? While the nameplate had been used on other vehicles previously, the small but mighty Ranger first became its own line of trucks in the 1983 model year.
