The 2021 Queen’s Birthday Honours list boasts the highest proportion of female recipients in the history of Order of Australia honours, says Governor-General David Hurley.
But women’s advocacy groups say that for women to comprise 44 per cent of the 947 honourees in the order’s general division is not good enough.

The groups called for mandating of equal numbers honours going to males and females, but General Hurley stopped short of supporting such a move.
There are few politicians and celebrities among those honoured this year, and the community category has the most recipients (396) in the order’s general division, followed by medicine (108) and sport (93).
Crown Resorts will face an additional 10 weeks of scrutiny in Victoria’s royal commission after new evidence of potential wrongdoing cast further doubt over its suitability to hold its Melbourne casino licence.
