WRIGHT RECEIVES ORDER OF AUSTRALIA MEDAL

Long-time Ballina Shire Councillor and current Mayor David Wright has been awarded an Order of Australia medal for services to the community.

He says he was both humbled and embarrassed to learn he’d received the Queen’s Birthday honour.

“I certainly don’t do the role to get glory, I do it because I love doing it and I love helping people, so to get recognition for that is quite amazing actually.”

Councillor Wright says he still doesn’t know who nominated him.

He’ll receive the medal during a ceremony in Canberra later this year.
