Aussies Fume Over 'Bizarre' Choice For The King's Birthday Honours List: 'They Are Already Paid To Do Their Job'
By Ashley Nickel
Daily Mail Australia and NCA Newswire
June 9, 2024
Jacqui Lambie has joined the masses slamming the decision to award Daniel Andrews the Companion of the Order of Australia, following his widely criticised handling of the Covid crisis.
The former Victorian premier, best known for his draconian handling of the pandemic which saw Melbourne become the 'most locked-down city in the world', received Australia's highest honour.
This was despite his government botching the initial stages of the global outbreak with a disastrous hotel quarantine program that led to soaring infection rates and stay-at-home orders.
Senator Lambie summarised many Australians' feelings by describing Mr Andrews' acknowledgement as 'bizarre'.
'I always find it bizarre that we get paid an absurd amount of money as politicians and you want to give us awards?' Senator Lambie told Nine's Today Show.
'I mean, seriously there's a lot of people out there who do great things, but don't have a lot of money, and they're doing great things around their own community. Why they continue to give politicians awards is beyond me.
'It really gets up my nose I have to be honest with you. We get paid to do the job for you. We shouldn't be getting awards on top of it.
'It's not for them. It's for people in the community who are out there doing the right thing, and a lot of those people out there in the community helping others, are not loaded with money.
'I can assure you, but they do it from the goodness of their heart, and that's the way it should be done.'
Former Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan was also awarded an AC, despite also being known for his overly-harsh Covid lockdown.
Former MP Craig Kelly shared his thoughts on X alongside several of Mr Andrews' critics.
'At first I thought it was a bad joke, but both Dan Andrews and former WA Premier Mark McGowan have received an AC for "Covid Leadership" in the King's Birthday Honours. They both should be jail serving time,' he said.
Another said: 'Dan Andrews has been made a Companion of the Order of Australia in the 2024 King's Birthday Honours for being the most authoritarian human rights abuser in Australia's history.'
A third wrote: 'Today, we celebrate the iron-fisted leadership of Dan Andrews and Mark McGowan with the Companion of the Order of Australia.
'Under their reign, ruthless Covid zero benchmarks were set. The destruction of businesses, economy and erosion of freedoms were glorious sacrifices.'
Another said: 'If Dan Andrews can attend a public event without his security detail and not be insulted, assaulted, spat on, heckled, pushed, shoved or bashed, then he deserves to keep his OA Award.'
However, others applauded Mr Andrews for keeping Victorians 'safe' through the pandemic.
'Well deserved recognition for Frm Premier Dan Andrews in the King's Birthday Honors! His dedication and strength in guiding Victoria through the toughest time in the last century,' one wrote.
'Congratulations Dan Andrews on your King's birthday honour for your brilliant work throughout the Covid pandemic. We were all so lucky to have you as our premier,' another said.
Former 3AW broadcaster and commentator Neil Mitchell said he wasn't 'happy' with the 'bizarre' call and believes it was 'fast-tracked'.
'Daniel was a divisive leader,' Mitchell told Sunrise.
'He's getting this award in part for his work in public health. He's destroyed the public health system. He had old ladies chased out of parks through the Covid days.
'(There are) a lot of questions around it. It's fast-tracked.'
Mitchell added that Mr Andrew's accolade was a slight on the people adversely affected by Mr Andrews' 'ring of steel'.
'I can't help but think of these people impacted by those lockdowns, particularly small business. How would they be feeling right now?'
Ben Fordham from Sydney's 2GB also took aim at the controversial awardees, Mr Andrews and Mr McGowan.
'The former premiers are being recognised for their service to public health and the people of their state, but the decision has gone down like a lead balloon,' Fordham said.
'People can't forget the pain they caused during the pandemic. Dan Mr Andrews imposed the longest lockdown in the world.
'Victorians were stuck inside for 262 days. Meanwhile, Mark McGowan closed Western Australia's border for almost two years.
'Families were separated for major milestones. They missed out on births, deaths and marriages.'
While Mr Andrews was criticised for his harsh lockdown restrictions, he remains the longest serving Labor premier in Victoria's history.
Stepping down from the job in September 2023, Mr Andrews said 'it is time'.
'Recently, in talking to my kids and Cath (his wife), thoughts of what life will be like after this job has started to creep in,' he said.
'I have always known that the moment that happens it is time to go and to give this privilege, this amazing responsibility to someone else.'
At the time Prime Minister Anthony Albanese paid tribute to his longtime friend, calling him a 'man of great conviction, enormous compassion and a fierce determination to make a difference'.
'Daniel Andrews has never been anyone who has shirked his responsibilities,' he said.
'He stood up each and every day during the pandemic, stood up for doing what he believed was absolutely right, to keep Victorian safe.
'Not making easy decisions, making difficult decisions.'
Post-politics, Mr Andrews has moved to the private sector, and is working with mining billionaire Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest through the his consultancy Forty Eight and Partners...
