Abbott the great community man honoured, page-21

This is from our 8c a day ALPBC so it must be accurate?

"The former prime minister was made a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) for "eminent service to the people and Parliament of Australia".

The honour was primarily for his role as prime minister, as well as significant contributions to trade, border control, and to the Indigenous community."

So he rightly shared the award with others - as he said on TV, this was a "Team Effort" and he accepted it on behalf of the team. Take a bow Tony! Well done and hope to see you back in Parliament!
