Asian Australians On The Queens Birthday Honour Roll

The Queens Birthday pubic holiday has come and gone, and where we are no supporter of British colonialism and the monarchy as such, it is good to see a significant number of Asian Australians on this year’s Queens Honour Roll, earning a title at the end of their name. Without further elaboration on this, here are the names of Asian Australians on the Honour Roll and where they have contributed – all names are listed in alphabetical order in the various honours.
