KarlIn the awards ,the Australian of the year went to a plastic surgeon specialising in burns victims.
The only female in her profession in WA.
The Young Australian of the year is Khoa do, a film maker who came to Australa as a refugee.
The Senior Australian of the year is Antonio Milhinos, who donates to various charities and a Portugese migrant.
The token white male got the 'Australian Local Hero',(I wonder if they realise the play on words

)
He is an environmentalist member of Planet Ark, who made his hometown a 'plastic bag free region'.
Give me a famous cricketer or comedian any day.
