On this brisk, beautiful morning in Wellington, Dame Cindy recognised the achievements and service of 12 further recipients of Royal New Zealand Honours. Among those recognised was Professor Tim Bell for his contributions to computer science education, in particular through his work on compression, which transforms text into a format that enables efficient storage and transmission. Ms Rose Wilkinson was also acknowledged for her advocacy for the rights of blind and vision-impaired people – while Mr Lyall Bailey received his QSM for his years of service to the Winton community, including through running a rural mail service with his wife. Our very warmest congratulations to all recipients.
