Aussie battlers aplenty in latest honours list

Look past the politicians and celebrities and almost half of the 737 people recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours are ‘everyday Aussies’. Among the recipients to make the 2024 list are household names from the COVID-19 era, entertainers on television and the sporting field, medical researchers as well as community champions.

Entertainers on the small screen and through the airwaves were among those honoured, with funnyman Hamish Blake recognised for his two decades of service as an entertainer. Comedian Jimmy Rees, also known as Jimmy Giggle from the children’s show Giggle and Hoot, and sport broadcaster Sandy Roberts were also honoured for their work. The 2024 list commemorates an equal number of men and women in the general division of the Order of Australia, with recipients ranging from 29 to 98 years old.
