Look guys, I'm somewhat conservative and a monarchist and even I think Prince Philip was a very strange choice.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-01-26/a ... ts/6045604
Angus Houston and Prince Philip awarded Knight of the Order of Australia
Former Defence Force chief Angus Houston and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, have been named as Australia's next knights.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced Queen Elizabeth II accepted his recommendation that both men be awarded the country's top honour.

But the decision to knight the Duke of Edinburgh has been criticised by republicans, with former Western Australia premier Geoff Gallop calling the decision a "sad reflection" on Australia.

Sir Angus, a retired Air Chief Marshal, said he was surprised and humbled by the honour.
Happy Australia Day, RM!

No problem, Adam. Happy birthday!

While we're on the topic, and just so everyone is clear, I definitely have no specific fondness for Tony Abbott.

The Libs are really self-inflicting some wounds today and I for one could not be more happy with this turn of events.

I actually hope they keep Mr Rabbit to make it a sure thing that the Coalition and their unfair policies are booted out next year.

I know that last post wasn't about politics, but lets face it, what else are we going to talk about when it comes to Australia?

So, the spill motion was unsuccessful but I can't how Abbott can possibly recover. Unfortunate result all round.
