Aidan,

"....Tony Abbott awarded the knighthood to Prince Philip because he wanted to..."

Precisely!

And in doing so he sent a great big "up yours" to the rest of Australia - simply because he must have known what sort of reception it would receive. Why, only last year his hastily conceived Bunyip Honours were howled down to shrieks of laughter - and this year he makes a prize (cooked) goose of himself by compounding it by bestowing high honour on Prince Philip (not to mention there's something weird about a ten pound pom bestowing a knighthood on a Prince of the Realm)

Laurie Oakes, Chris Kenny and many more were laying into Abbott big time today. Peter van Onselen was having the time of his life on twitter lampooning this decision.

And LNP ministers and backbenchers were groaning in their cups somehwere far away from Abbott.

Nothing for Randy Andy?

Foxy "Prince Philip, the faithful consort of our current
monarch? Who on his visit to Australia in 1992
when asked if he wanted to stroke a koala bear
stated, "Oh no, I might catch some ghastly disease!

Faithful consort, faithful consort indeed, makes Randy Andy look like a celibate monk, faithful consort, yeah to right!

How do you stroke a Koala Bare (Bear)? Rub him a lot. faithful consort..I'm still laugh'n!

p/s We should give Abbott a knighthood. THE ROYAL ORDER OF THE BOOT would do just fine.

Royalty is high on the list for Abbott. Probably the only way it was going to happen is by stealth. He doesn’t have any trust in the judgment of his fellow colleges. He is different in many ways, and somehow thinks he knows best.

How long can his team put up with his arrogance. It certainly makes the whole coalition alliance look rather weak.
Another barnacle added to Abbott’s ship. It can’t stay afloat much longer surely.

It is quite puzzling to me that nobody felt it appropriate to take the lad aside and whisper in his shell-like, "Tony, is this a good idea? Think about it..."

Maybe that Credlin lady is actually a Trojan horse for the Labour Party...?
