    Abbott said his gongs were for those "who have accepted public office rather than sought it". Clearly there's a 3rd group, those born to it.

        @BernardKeane @Magpie1954nBird Also we're suppose to be for 'preeminent straylians' so you can add another group for foreigners.

        @BernardKeane He also said they were for pre-eminent AUSTRALIANS, so there's a 4th group: Greeks called Phil.

        @BernardKeane He wasn't born to it at all. He married into it, therefore he accepted it. Do some research.

        @BernardKeane this is what happens when a gong is just a captain's pick. Ridiculous stuff. Batty's followed a process. Thus no ridicule.
