WELLINGTON: New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern moved to strip high-profile businessman Ron Brierley of his knighthood on Thursday after the Sydney-based octogenarian pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography.
In what is believed to be an unprecedented move, Ardern s office said she had launched action to remove the honour, which was bestowed on New Zealand-born Brierley in 1988. There is a process for forfeiture, and the prime minister has asked for this to be initiated, a spokesman said.
