The Queen’s Birthday Honours List has been quiet for the screen sector. With Jan Sardi, a key screenwriter (and director) and veteran designer Robert Perkins, the practicing screen creatives have claimed as much attention as the Anglican church.
The headline names are Tony Abbott and Bronwyn Bishop, Philip Ruddock and Ron Boswell from federal politics, while Denis Napthine and Michael Baird are both former one-term premiers. All from the Coalition. On the other side we see John Della Bosca, Graham Richardson and the independent Tony Windsor.
