Spike2@8 made me laugh once I understood.

Could have voted for loads of clues.

So many great clues. I really liked Buddy's subtractive anagram @10, and useby's use of the obscure definition @21, and they might have got my vote on any other day, but I have to go with geeker @20 for obvious reasons.

Just off bowling. Just wanted to say to Geeker, I remember a 3 hour statistics lecture in 1965 from an Australian who ate raw carrots throughout the lecture as he derived the Law of the Iterated Logarithm from first principles. Aaah memories!

So much Maths both actual and literal on display today!
Many clues got a single vote but a winners funnel emerged.

In 3rd place is Buddy 5 on two votes
In joint first place is Jimmy 24
and MPRS 11 on three votes apiece.
I have decided to count the total amount of votes cast for the poster as a tiebreak.
So walking away with the gold (sequins?) for four total votes is Darla with her superb;

“Maybe past decades on Earth”

Very well done Darla!

Your prizes are based on the theme and your old profession;

Well done, Mprs, and thanks to Paul for the challenge and the clips.
It's election day in AU, so they'll soon be firing up the sausage sizzles. I may need a 🥕 to get me through the day ...
