Even John Howard finds the notion of Knights & Dames anachronistic.

He'd be among the first Tony would offer it too wouldn't he?

That's what a lot of us thought. He was quoted in the news on ABC News 24 on the TV this morning saying he would not accept it if it was offered to him Shocked

Admittedly, I can see some appeal to the idea of Tony Abbott and John Howard playing with swords. Confused

As long as they're not crossing swords, don't want that image.

Sadly no...

Mr Howard said it would be seen as ''somewhat anachronistic'' even by conservatives, and he told The Australian Financial Review that it was ''unlikely'' that he would accept a knighthood should it be offered.

I love that Howard still uses weasel words to ensure he doesn't really give an opinion. Laughing

Now it could be just me that has read the proposal however John Howard would not qualify for the order of Australian or "kighthood"

Neither would Warnie or Hockey or Bishop or Murdoch or anyone else that has been listed here so far.

So, the motive....nothing that has come up here so far but carry on
