Should have had the AO the first time in 2016 when he got an AM. Well deserved recognition! Should be Australian of the Year too IMHO! 3 1 Quote

Definitely! It’s not like there’s plenty of years in the future to bestow this honour. Sadly, time isn’t on Neale’s side. ? Quote

Wrecker46 3,130 Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 I like Peta Credlin but I'm not sure how she got one. I'm more surprised how Bec Goddard got one ahead of Daisy Pearce. Daisy got the women's league going and is an icon. 1 Quote

Unless Bec Daniher has aged 30 years since her media commitments this week. Quote

dl4e 5,851 Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 Well done Neale. Dixons wife taught me at school. Congrats Peta Credlin. 1 Quote

Not sure Barassi counts as a Tory (in the UK sense of old style Conservative). More a Hamer Victorian Liberal - socially progressive and economically conservative. He'd have lined up with Turnbull against Abbott. Pro - republic, pro immigration etc Dixon was pretty progressive for his time as well. Also, we've actually produced a Labor MP - Bob Miller MP for Prahran 1979-1985. Played 69 games between 1961-1965. Alan Henderson, the old property steward was a dyed in the wool ALP man too. And well done, Neale. Absolute champion. Edited June 14, 2021 by Swooper1987 Quote

dees189227 12,512 Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 So well deserved. Over the past 7 years it is just amazing what Neale has managed to achieve. The fact he is still here is a massive achievement as people who get mnd only get abut 27 months. He has put this on the map and hopefully one day is goal will be achieved with a cure. Kudos to you Neale. Your positive spirit is just beautiful. Quote
