I totally disagree with Member for Gympie, David Gibson’s negative comments in yesterday’s Gympie Times http://www.gympietimes.com.au/story/2010/05/07/gibson-says-defection-poi... on the defection of Aidan McLindon and Rob Messenger from the LNP, which is absolutely NOT pointless!

Australia Day honours for the dishonourable: the Public Service Medal

Submitted by Anon on Wed, 18/11/2009 - 4:22pm

While many recipients of Australia Day Awards are good citizens and deserving, others are not.

It is scandalous that public officials are nominated for the Public Service Award each year and the process is shrouded in secrecy. Neither the nominators nor the nominees are made public before January 26th, so the general public have no opportunity to lodge objections or allegations of corrupt conduct of these senior public servants.
