I'm not an avid supporter of the Republic-for-Australia push but the Queen's Birthday honours list never fails to confirm my thought that the annual festival of, usually undeserving, recipients wallowing in their own importance, is as good a reason as any to move to a local head of State.
Not really a Republican issue, all these awards are decided here in Australia and would continue to be so, with or without a republic.
I can think of at least four people in our local Lions Club who are more deserving that Joyce.
