For Auckland’s final Queen’s Birthday and Platinum Jubilee 2022 Honours investitures, eight recipients were welcomes to Government House to receive their insignia. Today, Tangihaere Harihari-Hughes was awarded an ONZM for her extensive work with the New Zealand Māori Wardens Association, Māori Women’s Welfare League and many other organisations.
Also recognised were John and Sandra Wyatt, who received QSMs for their work in their community of Kaikoura. Following the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake, they helped save the badly damaged community theatre from demolition. The newly restored Mayfair Arts and Culture Centre was opened again in 2020. Congratulations to all of this morning’s recipients.
