New Year Honours

[Lilith7]

I think they are huge role models, and that contribution does deserve recognition. But maybe not quite at the level they have received. Knighthoods should be reserved for lifetime achievement I think, or extraordinary acts of social generosity.

And never bought or sold, so politicians should be excluded on principle.

Absobloodylutely! And imo, the likes of people such as Celia Lashlie & Fred Hollows  should be given all the honours we can come up with. Of course, Fred Hollows did get Australian of the year, which is apparently an honour.

Despite his being a Kiwi...


There should be a special category of honours specifically for sports people.
