Tony Abbott will go down as Australia's worst ever PM.He is nothing but an embarrassment to this great country.

Constructive Critique of my photographs is always appreciated

They don't have to go that far, Rick. They're looking pretty good (goosewise) already
CC, Image editing OK.
This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.
Phil already has that many titles that it would take 2 pages to print out, and what has he ever done for Australia?
Surely Tony could have found an Australian to award the knightship to.
I think Tony has lost the plot, and the sooner he "retires" for family reasons the better.
All my photos are taken with recycled pixels.
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom, is knowing not to serve it in a fruit salad.
Politicians don't run the country, it's run by the 'faceless brigade', AKA The Public Circus.
Unfortunately most who enter politics are either egotists, or opportunists looking to elevate their perceived status in life and fatten their wallets.
A Prince, a Knight, and a PM all walked into a bar...

Tell me about it. Hence the reason I said it's like choosing between a root canal and castration.
They have better candidates in the parties. They may not be good candidates, but they are still better than the current idiots who share a parrot brain. Julie Bishop or Malcolm Turbull would have been preferable to Abbott and would probably have only seemed like a minor dental surgery as opposed to a full root canal. Labor also have better candidates than Shorten but both parties seem to pride themselves on picking the most repulsive of options to try see who can provide the least preferable candidate to the public.
Well at the risk of spoiling a good rant, and because some of you may not know this, here's some info from your favourite small 'l" liberal, Malcolm (where are my pants) Fraser.

I think this line is the one that needs re-quoting from that "Mr Fraser had the support of his party when he recommended the honour to the governor-general Sir Zelman Cowen and the Queen."
30 years ago, Australia was a very different place, and was still very much a child of the commonwealth, with big ties back to England. The Australian Republic movement was not even around (that came circa 1991).
Yes, but the point is that we don't call Prince Charles "Sir" at all. You'll also find Her Maj has the old Imperial Honours after her name and she is never called "Dame" either. Storm, Tea cup, Didn't see the same rant here when Tendulkar was awarded an AM by the luvvies. All of these awards are political these days. The rot set in when someone of the left decided to use them to push the social-conscience agenda.
This is worth a view. Good old Maj is very well decorated and honoured by lots of governments around the planet. One of my favourites though is the one from Canada in 1957 and the one from Slovaka much later. Who'd have been honoured to receive "Member First Class of the Order of the White Double Cross"?

And Phil the Greek has a few of his own including an Order of Australia.
