Should Margaret Court’s Companion of the Order of Australia - the system's highest honour - be reconsidered due to her disgusting, bigoted views that spew hatred and create division in the community?

By Olivia . Created on 28 Jan, 2021
Margaret Court's controversial Australia Day Honour was reportedly awarded to address a disparity between her and male tennis legend Rod Laver. The Governor-General’s office has received requests to review the controversial 2021 Australia Day honour bestowed on Margaret Court, as the list of Australians returning awards in protest grows. Governor-General David Hurley’s office has received correspondence requesting Ms Court’s Companion of the Order of Australia - the system's highest honour - be reconsidered. The requests have now been referred to the Council for the Order of Australia. WHEN HOMOPHOBIA IS HONOURED, EVERYONE IS DISHONOURED.

At no time did I hear from Margaret Court infer, quote: "disgusting, bigoted views that spew hatred and create division in the community". <br/>The only so called "division in the community" seems to be coming from the "minority" left, as usual !!!!

was not impressed by this award. She may be a great pastor, but in todays' world she is poorly out of touch, bigoted and uncaring towards minority groups. i believe this was an award she neither deserved nor earned,
