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.

This is the guy that doesn't hold a hose and supported efforts to overturn WA's closed border. Fuck him

Didn't he approve the Ruby Princess cruise ship to Dock in Sydney that started the big wave of covid? Details are sketchy in my mind but I do remember vehement hate towards him and the NSW leaders.
