Ms Arndt,70,wasappointed a Member of the Order of Australia in the 2020 Australia Day honours"for significant service to the community as a social commentator,and to gender equity through advocacy for men".
The appointment sparked criticism from many who viewed Ms Arndt as an inappropriate candidate for the award because of her anti-feminist views that often provoke outrage.
Days after the appointment,Victoria's Attorney-General,Jill Hennessy,wrote to the Governor-General,David Hurley,urging him to rescind Ms Arndt's appointment because of her"well-documented opinions … which include sympathising with a convicted paedophile and blaming and shaming victims".

Last week,following the murder of Queensland mum Hannah Clarke and her three children at the hands of estranged husband Rowan Baxter,Ms Arndt spoke in support of comments made by a detective who has since been removed from the case.
Shepraised the Queensland police for"keeping an open mind and awaiting proper evidence,including the possibility that Rowan Baxter might have been'driven too far'."
She went on to say:"But note the misplaced outrage. How dare police deviate from the feminist script of seeking excuses ... and explanations when women stab their partners to death,or drive their children into dams but immediately judging a man in these circumstances as simply representing the evil violence that is in all men."
