Many of these awards are simply going to people for doing their jobs, for which they have already been richly rewarded no doubt.

This is just to increase the number of mouthpieces for when the republican debate comes around. It was expected to be within 12 months if Shorten was elected. Won’t be for awhile now.
Still it’s a shame none of these people had the guts to stand up for Australia be saying “no , we are not subjects and commoners in the eyes of an unelected monarch 10,000 miles away , shove your award”.
Instead they all gather and pat themselves on the head for being good little butlers of their majesty. Pathetic orcs.
