Among other things, he shot and killed an unarmed teenager in Afghanistan, literal babykiller
This guy took a prosthetic off an Afghani civilian he killed and would drink beer out of it at “parties”

Not a government decision?
Help me understand where I’m getting confused here.
I guess no actual Australian politician or government official had a say in it, just a foreign monarch.
I know a lot of Aussies have been pushing to break away from the crown.
I know what you’re saying here but the king is absolutely a part of the Australian government and this is cheap equivocation on behalf of the Australian prime minister who should know very well that Australia is a not a republic.
You can’t be the head of state for a constitutional monarchy and claim that the monarch isn’t a part of the government.
I think our prime minister is trying to split the difference saying the award was given by the king and not by the prime minister’s office or anyone who answers to him.
He’s trying to make the argument it was his manager’s decision and the prime minister had nothing to do with it
As as has been said, “the government” in this context refers to the current administration rather than the concept of government
Albo is a centrist and a coward but he’s not unaware that australia isn’t a republic, especially given the fact that he supports becoming one
