The New Year 2025 investiture ceremonies in Auckland began today with recognition of eight outstanding New Zealanders. Five of today’s recipients were recognised for acts of bravery, including the late Mr Hussein Al-Umari, whose outstanding bravery and selflessness saved the lives of others during the Christchurch Mosque attacks.
Also among those honoured was Professor Helen Pilmore, who received a CNZM for services to nephrology and transplantation services.
