Australia may have hit a new low under Anthony Albanese with this years pick for Australian of the year. Nothing against the winner but we\u2019ve hit peak DEI when Katherine Bennell-Pegg who seems nice enough but hasn\u2019t even been to space yet beats: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of all the life saving, and innovative contributions made in Australia in the last year, a women who trained to travel in a spacecraft wins, incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While I applaud her, she hasn’t been to space and has done nothing for Australia. Her success is personal success. There are more deserving Australian women out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I bet next year the Australian of the Year will be Tony Armstrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
