How many Presidential candidates that have served as a State Governor & "First Spouse" of a State.

The only one I can think of is George Wallace, considering his wife Lurleen was Governor from 1967 to 1968 (me thinks).

How many Australian Prime Ministers were MPs from a state other than the big two (Victoria and NSW)? Who were they? And which Australian state has never had a PM from it?

South Australia has never had an Australian Prime Minister

5 Prime Ministers have not come from the big two states (New South Wales and Victoria):

Kevin Rudd - Queensland
Frank Forde - Queensland
Andrew Fisher - Queensland
Joesph Lyons - Tasmania
John Curtin - Western Australia

There was another Queenslander... pre-WW2

(and thus the only state to have not had a PM is South Australia)

Another Queenslander ah yes Artie Fadden Smiley.

I'm going to take a random guess, I'm assuming it's an early President so I will say George Washington.

Far off!  Neither is correct.

Hawaii was not a state at the time.

Indeed it wasn't and I should have known that they became a state on January 1, 1959 or there abouts.

Where they all under sixty when the left office?

Can't be that Bush turned 60 back in 2006.

Any other clues Ernest?
