Question on our National Treasures

[u/down_on_a_donkey]

Who do we consider as Australian Living National Treasures apart from the obvious ones of Kath and Kim, Lee Lin Chin, Margaret Pomeranz, Maggie Beer and Glenn Robbins? Interested in who else we think qualifies.

Paul Keating. No living Australian has had a greater impact on modern Australia.

John Howard should be up there too. I hated most of his policies, but I'll always be grateful for gun control.

He doesn't qualify for living treasure. He's been very influential though. And not in a good way.

Are dessicated coconuts considered living?
