`  ==Position on titles, knighthoods etc== It's long been my understanding that the ALP does not support the awarding of honours that come with any sort of title, which is why there was trouble at the mill when Dorothy Tangney, William McKell (admittedly above politics by then), Jack Egerton and some others accepted knighthoods.  And why Hawke had the Knights and Dames of the Order of Australia abolished.  But I cannot find anything in the ALP platform or constitution that talks about this issue.  Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.  Can anyone come to my aid?      `
