Scam!

The blokes who really do earn and deserve AO's, are typified by the bloke in the link below. The public servants like Carmody deserve bugger-all awards, they're just overpaid desk-pushers.

And blokes like Neale Danaher AO - suffering motor neurone disease (MND) but raising funds ($2 million today in the 7th Freeze MND event at the MCG) to find a cure for the disease and Mark Baretta OAM, Channel 7 Sunrise sports reporter, who has run, and ridden in, ten Tour De Cure bike rides raising $70 million for cancer research.

I forgot to mention my youngest brother, Detective Inspector Gregory Hough OAM, (Ret.) who was awarded for service in the Bali bombing investigation and victim identification a few years ago. He also won the Police Service Medal.

 

He was also involved in victim identification in the Indonesian tsunami in Aceh, and was a squad leader in the Victorian Homicide Squad, capturing a couple of murderers including Peter Dupas.

I don't recall a single thing that Carmody has ever done be it for Aviation or anything else.

He was in charge when the low cost EC devices were approved. Would he have had any input?
