Talk:Maggie Barry

A fact from Maggie Barry appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 December 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that 26 new MPs were elected to the 50th New Zealand Parliament, including Julie Anne Genter (pictured) and Denise Roche (both Greens), Rino Tirikatene (Labour), Maggie Barry, Paul Goldsmith and Alfred Ngaro (National), and Richard Prosser and Denis O'Rourke (both NZ First)?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/December.

ONZM

Sites listing Barry as a speaker, such as Captive Audience, say that she has an ONZM for services to broadcasting from 1997. I have been unable to find a more authoritative source for this. The New Zealand Order of Merit was established in 1996, but the first online list is for Queen's Birthday Honours 1997. There is a Mrs Myra Margaret Barry there, but as Maggie Barry has never been married that may be a different person. She does not appear in New Year's Honours 1998 (which was released on the last day of 1997), so presumably she must be in the New Year's Honours 1997.-gadfium 03:37, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (they look after the honours system) and got the following response:

"I am writing in response to your e-mail on 1 December 2011, see below for the details of Ms Barry's honour:

Ms Margaret Mary Barry, ONZM

Queen's Birthday 1996

Appointed on Officer of The New Zealand Order of Merit

For services to the community"

So all is good. Schwede 66 20:22, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1996 Queen's Birthday Honours now on the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet website - listed as "For services to broadcasting" Paora (talk) 10:04, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
