Sorry about the show-stopper. Let's see about some hints.

Which famous Australian rock'n'roll band recruited first their chauffeur and then an assembly line worker as their singer and who were the two?

Both the chauffeur and the asembly line worker had previous professional singing experience, of course.

Who said: "I despise what you are saying, but Iwould give my life for your being allowed to say it".

(Retranslated, ergo probably not verbatim)

The one and only. Funny how different the quotation sounds in English: the first part is much sharper in the German version (despise instead of disapprove), while the second sounds a lot softer (give my life - defend to the death).

Anyway, over to you, hydro.

What is the highest mountain in Australian territory?

Just to clarify, this includes AAT (australian Antartic Territory) and all offshore territories
