In a decision that has sparked widespread controversy, the former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been awarded the Companion of the Order of Australia (AC), the nation's highest civilian honor. This decision has been met with disapproval by many who question the appropriateness of this accolade given his political legacy and recent controversies.

During his tenure, Morrison's government faced significant criticism for its handling of numerous domestic issues. Concerns were raised over his administration's response to climate change, handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, and contentious policies related to immigration and indigenous rights. Such policies have had lasting negative impacts on Australian society and have polarized public opinion.

The decision to honor Morrison with an AC sends a disheartening message to the public, undermining the values that these awards are meant to represent. Awards like the Companion of the Order of Australia are intended to acknowledge exceptional achievement and merit of the highest degree in service to Australia or humanity. Many feel that Morrison's contributions do not align with these criteria.

This petition calls upon the relevant authorities to reconsider and reverse this decision. It is crucial for the integrity of our national awards system that recognition is accorded to individuals whose contributions genuinely reflect the values and aspirations of the Australian community. Let us ensure that such honors continue to be symbols of genuine merit and service.

Join us in urging the responsible bodies to take action and reverse the award of an AC to Scott Morrison. Your support can help preserve the integrity and value of Australia's highest honors. Please sign this petition to make your voice heard.
