From The Guardian: He described Prince Philip as a “great servant” of Australia and for a life of duty and service. He’s the patron of hundreds of organisations. He’s the inspiration and wellspring of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards which have provided leadership training for tens if not hundreds of thousands of Australians over the years. I’m just really pleased that in his 90s, towards the end of a life of service and duty, we in this country are able to properly acknowledge what he’s done for us. It is fitting that we pay tribute to an extraordinary life of service. The Prime Minister dismissed social media criticism of the decision to award the knighthood to the Prince as “electronic graffiti”. Social media is kind of like electronic graffiti and I think that in the media, you make a big mistake to pay too much attention to social media. You wouldn’t report what’s sprayed up on the walls on buildings.” Slim and Django report to me all the time about what they smell sprayed up on walls of buildings...but they know that their mates generally a taking the piss.
