Now you are being silly,

Magda got it for managing to fleece millions of dollars out of Jenny Craig to be their weight loss ambassador, not once but twice - didn't work first time so Jenny took Magda on for a second go for a very very hefty sum but didn't work then either - Magda outsmarted Jenny Craig big time - now that is worthy of a gong

You are saying that Ned Kelly would have got one today? What about Skase, Bond et al?

Why not? Look at some of the Queenslanders who've been recipients, albeit if they were taken back.

I was only thinking today I might nominate some unsung heroes who I think deserve an award. For example, the former alcoholic who founded and operated a private drug rehabilitation farm, without accepting a cent of government money, helping hundreds of people, and recently retired. And some others I know.
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.

can i nominate my housemate? for managing to put her dishes in the dishwasher.

DiscoMick · 27th January 2019, 09:39 PM

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.

And she could in turn, nominate you for not leaving the toilet seat up.
