You just need to look at the detail of his history... Qantas "Airlines" it's "Qantas AIRWAYS" and has been for about 50 years for goodness sake. Agree with the other comments here, totally undeserved... obviously didn't get it for "services to profit and shareholders" and just another reason why I object totally to these 'gongs', any award where someone gets to put letters after their name which has no rigor in its awarding is a joke... at least someone quickly abandoned Rabbits pathetically ridiculous return to Knights and Dames... for those poor souls suffering incompetence and lack of leadership at that company, imagine having to call him Sir John. Like cattletruck said, these are w@nk awards. Designed for poseurs and near-do-wells and based on patronage.
