Queens Birthday honours
No, I didn’t score a gong.
What an anachronism they are! The ones that really get up my nose are those given to senior public servants, business people, sportspeople, TV people and the like. They’re getting them for doing their job … why do they deserve the extra recognition of an Order of Australia or whatever? If we do have to have awards like this, it should be the ordinary people who dominate them, for community work, not high profile people who are more than adequately rewarded for their efforts in other ways.

Bit like celebrity goody bags at major parties: they get free TVs, trips, clothes and shoes, when the people who really need this stuff (or the proceeds therefrom) are starving. It would be a publicity coup if one company said they were allocating their Oscar goody bag products to the poor.
