Australian honours are so unimpressive sounding. Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) Party Tell anyone in the world, or most of Australia for that matter, that you have one of them and they have no idea what it is. Give me a knighthood or fuhgeddaboutit, mi lud.

Some of the honours when I hear them are so bizarre, the Scomo one, the Credlin and Abbott ones too, I mean seriously.

On subject of awards, I thought David Beckham getting a knighthood was a bit odd, but I suppose he does charity work behind the scenes for the Kings charities ?  Not like he cant afford it tho, is it .Wink

You don't have to do anything selfless or charitable or in any way do-gooderish to get a knighthood.
