In short:

Former prime minister Scott Morrison will be appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) for his "eminent service" to the country.

He thanked the Australian people for their "courage and resilience" during multiple crises during his term, including the COVID pandemic and Black Summer bushfires.

What's next?

King’s Birthday Honours List award recipients will be invited to ceremonies at their state's Government House over coming months.

That, and his Holiday in Hawaii as we were choking on soot.

It's much worse than that. the holiday in Hawaii was a lie. He was in NY for the opening of a new church.

Instead of giving a statement to the press saying "Sorry, I'm in New York for an event with my church. I'll be on the first plane home" the Government pretended he hadn't left the country and he made a stopover in Hawaii on the way home so photos could be "leaked" of him "being a dad and spending time with his kids during the school holidays".

The Australian public were having none of it.

Very few people would have a problem if he went with the actual truth of "Sorry, I'm in New York for an event with my church. I'll be on the first plane home" but hey, liars gotta lie!

The Hawaii trip was bad enough, but is there any actual evidence to back up this NY claim? I couldn’t find any reputable media even talking about it. Even the Daily Mail article I found just posed the NY suggestion as a question.

It wouldn't surprise me if it turned out that he was at Epstein's joint.
