^^^They don't have to still be living.

Just name your thought on who the greatest Australian ever was. And the most embarrasing.

I decided to post the link to the top 100

William Shatner was # 56 :jawdrop:

And Admiralbill - I was wrong - it looks like we did forget Lorne Greene and that is a shame - If Shatner is on the list then Greene certainly belongs there too. :(

Greatest Americans would include George Washington and most of the founding fathers. Abraham lincoln would be on there. Martin Luther King Jr., and JFK would be on there.

This isn't a list of perfect people mind you, but great people.

Most embarassing would be all Televangelists, Michael Jackson, most pop stars including Britney spears and Jessica simpson. I would also include Clay Aiken.

Of what country ?

What are your criteria for determinining greatness ?

There is no one alive in Australia who I would class as the greatest citisen.

Of your country. On the merits of the betterment of Autralia.

I'll go with the noteable and emminent people on our current bank notes.

I would not rank any sportsperson highly, nor any entertainer, nor any living politician or churchman.

Sportspersons are over rated.

Entertainers are over promoted and few if any have any talent or much to offer.

Politicians - my opinion of all politican , expecially the current crop - is dim, similar for churchmen.
