Not your decision, why are you wasting time giving suggestions? Abbott gave one honour to Prince Philip, did he get confused and think the Prince was Australian?

Ah, I know.  He knows the Prince is the same nationality as he.   British.   A mental snap.

Doesn't look like Tone is going to make it to QLD before the election... lol.

"One of the reasons why so many members of the team are able to perform so well is because they have got a very good captain," said Mr Abbott, who was visiting a dairy farm in the regional Victorian city of Colac on Friday.

 

 

"It takes a good captain to help all the players of a team to excel."

My grandad used to say that self praise is no recommendation.

Going back to the award of the Knight to Prince Phillip.

Abbott was only following on from Labor / a Labor PM in awarding Prince Phillip an Australian Honor.

And since we now have knighthoods, protocol alone suggests he should have the highest one.

I bet none of you would have criticised a Labor PM if they had made the award and probably didn't

when Labor PM made the intiial one.

So this is just an upgrade from AC to Knight.
