The current round of investiture ceremonies concluded this morning at Government House Auckland. Tōhunga whakairo (master carver) Clive Fugill was among those recognised today by Dame Cindy, for his lifetime of commitment to the craft of carving, and for supporting the next generation of carving talent. Barbara Dreaver received her ONZM for her staunch commitment to the highest-quality investigative journalism, and to telling New Zealand and Pacific stories – while vastly experienced literary editor Harriet Allan received her MNZM for her role in nurturing some of New Zealand's finest writers over the past 35 years.
Our very warmest congratulations once again to all those outstanding recipients acknowledged today and over the past two weeks – and our thanks for your service to Aotearoa New Zealand and your commitment to excellence.
