The thing about the Order of Australia awards is this: you might feel that some of the nominees are due some kind of recognition, but then you look at others who've been given the same award, and the value of it plummets.

In my view, only some of the awards are for services to people - the rest are for serices to the state / the system /the establishment, whatever you want to call it.
