Age bin

The new honours list will be making a fine start
With Sir Andrew Bolt and with Dame Gina Rinehart,
Australian orders can only demean us;
Get ready to bow to Sir Art Sinodinos.

But this small reform can be only a starter,
The orders of Michael and George and the Garter
Still stand as a goal for LNP benefactors
(With some for the church, and a couple of actors);

And once we've got that, then what's wrong with a peerage?
A real divide from those yobs in the steerage,
With Viscounts and Earls and the occasional Baronet-
If we're born to rule we need robes and a coronet.
