You are saying that Ned Kelly would have got one today? What about Skase, Bond et al?[smilebigeye]
Why not? Look at some of the Queenslanders who've been recipients, albeit if they were taken back.Quote:

How about we all commit to nominate some deserving people next year? Let's turn it around.
My nomination would be a Women from the bush, who raises her family under hardship, and keeps the family together in difficult circumstances. My thinking is some one who has had a successful business, and can afford to retire at 53, has had his own reward.Quote:

Yep.
Let's ban politicians and footballers and anyone who made a personal profit from the activities for which they were nominated.
Nominate people the rest of us have never heard of. Unsung heroes.
