And there,
Is one of many reasons why I do not like Gillard.  :cheers:

with you on that one. 

Best practice is the best person for the job gets it, not the second, third or whateverth, just because they meet your demographics.  If you want to be the best, you get the best. 
Cheers

Al and/or Jan

Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard was one of 10 people to receive the top honour of Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) today.

Buzzard getting an AC for "Services to Politics" ??? >:(

Whadda did she ever do for politics, or is this now going to be an automatic award for ex-PM's ??? Do we see Tony & Krudd up next time ???

& she's whinging that not enough women got awards, or were even nominated. In that case, you stupid #$%^, get off your arse & write up the nomination form for all your girlfriends! >:( It's fairly easy to do - I know, because I put my FiL in for one several years ago & he got the OAM 8)

Nice to know our illustrious PM has a lazy $1.75 mil laying around to donate to his party and effectively buy his job. Must have checked his ashtray and dug behind the couch cushions to scrape that up. Just curious though...would that donation be tax deductable?

good on him as far as i am concerned...those whinging about his actions are just jelous that he is wealthy IMHO. The Labor party gets it's cash from the unions, so when the Liberal party was lacking funds he stepped up and put his own coin in place to support what he believes in....no big deal in my book, even if there was self interest involved in his motivation for doing it.
