WOW, that took some balls crocodile, naming an Australian of the year recipiant, of having no credibility?
Especially one famed for having the best selling album of any Australian artist in Australian music history, 1986's Whispering Jack CD.

An album that went 24 X Platinum, winning the ARIA for best CD for 1987, and had song writers from Manfred Mann and Mondo Rock ( Ross Wilson ) contribute songs for that CD.
Lets also not forget that in 1987 John won the Australian of the year award, (

Pretty low to diss a great Aussie bloke like that, I'll even go so far to say that you're UN-AUSTRALIAN.
John Farnham is a household name, more than just a singer, he's as iconic as meat pies, kangaroos, Vegemite and Holden cars.
