Scott Morrison’s Kings Birthday Award Is a National Embarrassment!

Sorry to post twice in one day, but I just learned that Scott Morrison is set to receive Australia’s highest civilian honour this Kings Birthday Weekend: the Companion of the Order of Australia.
Let’s be clear: Morrison misled Australians and the world on climate, walked out on Pacific leaders, joked about Pacific Islands going under water, went on holidays to Hawaii during Australia’s catastrophic 2019-20 bushfires saying he “doesn’t hold a firehose”, and secretly appointed himself to five ministries during COVID. He brought coal into our Parliament and mocked the science. And he presided over the illegal Robodebt scheme that caused suicides and torment for thousands of vulnerable Australians.
Now he’s being honoured - for what, exactly? This makes a mockery of Australia’s political system.
Morrison is also set to receive a “Global Leadership Award” from Donald Trump in Washington. I suppose that says it all.
Honouring a legacy of climate obstruction, secrecy, spin and disregard for vulnerable Australians sends the wrong message - at home and abroad.

It is good to see so many people stating that Morrison is undeserving.
What incredible hubris from these people. An utter disgrace. There is a petition on change: https://www.change.org/p/oppose-the-nomination-of-scott-morrison-for-the-order-of-australia?recruiter=944154923&recruited_by_id=e92139f0-4c34-11e9-b738-59ce3c4f332d
Joke award to a sick joke. From the King who supports the RNLI by charging them rent to use their rescue stations built on his land.
Where is the petition against this award?
Scomo has come to be regarded as a national disgrace for the poor decisions he took that have come to light. This award makes a mockery of the OAM'S and their processes for assessing eligibility ( or non- eligibility)
