Where’s my bloody Australia Day Honour?! I spent the 26th of January working, and in the interests of those in the public service, for the same rates as any other bloody day. I reckon that deserves a medal right there.

goggles13 said :

she could have approved this while she was sitting waiting for JG and the GG at the Citizen Ceremony near LBG on Aussie Day

Federal awards. Gallagher doesn’t need to approve anything. The GG approves these awards.

I meant Katy could have approved her press release

she could have approved this while she was sitting waiting for JG and the GG at the Citizen Ceremony near LBG on Aussie Day

Bully for her. She is days late! Where were you Katie? Down the Coast? Or can’t your Staff do anything without your “signature” on it. Crikey ……. Labor have no idea about how to delegate.
