Well done to all recipients! Who’s Tottie Goldmsith?
Singer/actress/TV personality who was very prominent from the early 80s-earlier this century. Google “Chantoozies”. IIRC there’s a family connection to Olivia Newton-John too.
They all got an award for doing their jobs.
Wonderful picture of Robyn Nevin, David. Perfection!. Delighted for her. Great to see Sean Dorney get recognition for a long distinguished career as an intrepid foreign correspondent. Also great to see one time pin up boy Ray Burgess recognised. Really nice man.
Robyn Nevin is a national treasure. Every form of entertainment in Australia has been conquered by her. Immense talent.
Yes, it’s a wonderful picture of Robyn, and a very deserved recipient she is.
Hey Gaz, hope you’re doing well, buddy.
Yes and thanks Dave, hope you’re well too 🙂
Bronny Bishop? Are they for real? There was a guy who saves wombats who definitely deserved it.
