Title: Australian of the Year

Here are the candidates and what they say about themselves.

Link.

So....what tokenistic bandwagon will the Libs opt for? Is to be the Year of the Transgender? At least both genders will be represented.

What is with this ABC crap! Y'ed reckon they would televise the Award live......yet obviously not. Here I am watching what I believe is a live telecast of the event, yet my relations in southern States have already seen who the winner is! How dumb is that!

So...it is retired Lt. General Morrison. Gee....the Libs just love the military. We have Cosgrove as GG and now Morrison as Aussie of the Year. Mind you, I 'like' both of them.

And there we have....another military man.....VC winner SAS Smith spruiking propaganda. Oh well, I guess that's his job.

As the ABC is unbiased; there'll be a mock up of Eddie Obeid nominating Dollar Bill for his contribution to abortion clinics and the brown paper bag industry. You know; because the ABC is unbiased.
