Labor MP Graham Perrett has condemned “unjust” rules that mean the Order of Australia cannot be stripped from dead recipients, even if they are found to have committed serious wrongdoing.
Perrett has taken up the cause of a constituent, Chris Stoker, who is a victim of child sexual abuse lobbying for the honour to be taken off Maxwell Howell, a deceased headteacher of Brisbane Grammar who was found to have failed to investigate complaints against the school councillor.
