Have a look at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Australian_of_the_Year_Award_recipients - it's gone to the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine co-recipient, a plastic surgeon who worked with victims of the 2002 Bali bombings, and...um...the captain of the Australian cricket team, twice.

That's my point
This guy's done something decent, and who's heard of him? Shane Warne likes a shag and it's front page and uproar about our "heroes" setting a bad example.
1. He plays with a little red ball- that's not heroic
2. He likes a shag & a bit of text fun ...that's completely normal.
3. There are people out there who actually believe he's (and others like him)a hero.

I just had another look at that list
It really is very scary, with the amount of sports people and entertainers who made australian of the year. Listing Steve Waugh as a "humanitarian" you have got to be kidding me.
People like Fred Hollows & Weary Dunlop though are real "heroes".
