AO

I feel nauseated whenever a politician, a civil servant or military man receives an AO.  No, not always.  It is their paid job and they get an award for it and many work in comfortable and safe place, with families nearby.

But I always wonder why some intrepid Aussies who explore places where people don't want to tread, and discover something economical that brings wealth to that society, yet get no acknowledgment.  Australia and some Australians also profit through tax and investment gain.
