21. Who or what kills Neil Fletcher?
From Quiz "Australia" (2008)
Answer:
King George
Believing Sarah to be dead (because she is supposed to be working in the centre when it is bombed), Drover heads out to the bombed island to look for Nullah, even though he is discouraged from doing this. Drover succeeds in getting Nullah and a bunch of other boys off the island, because his friend, Magarri, sacrifices himself. About to board the truck evacuating people from Darwin, Sarah stops, because she hears Nullah playing "Over the Rainbow" on his harmonica. A joyous reunion occurs, infuriating Fletcher, who feels that he has lost everything and blames Sarah and 'the little creamy' for all of his misfortunes. He aims his rifle at Nullah, intending to kill him.
King George, who has never been far away from his grandson, impales Fletcher with a spear, accurately thrown from an impressive distance. Fletcher lives long enough to hear King George's scorn, as he berates Fletcher for trying to kill his own son.
Nullah returns to Faraway Downs with Drover and Sarah, but before too long King George shows up to take him on a walk-about and teach him how to be a man. Sarah reluctantly allows him to go.
