Letter

In response to Scott Morrrison – Australia's worst AO recipient

No thanks and you can have mine back

I thought the biggest insult of all time was the presentation of the Queen’s/King’s Birthday honour to the husband of a British monarch by Tony Abbott until the presentation of an award — any award — to Scott Morrison.

All the volunteers who have fought fires, cleaned up after floods, delivered food aid, worked at meals on wheels, coached kids sport, fixed farmers’ burnt fences, worked sausage sizzles etc etc should respond with a great big “no thanks” until we stop rewarding those who do their job and get paid very well for it.

Get paid very well long after they finish doing their job.
