Australian Copt on King Charles honour list

Australian Copt Naguib Kaldas was selected by the Australian government among the honourees on this year's King Charles III Birthday Honours List. Mr Kaldas was named Officer of the Order of Australia. On 8 June, the Governor-General of Australia, Samantha Mostyn, announced the list which included 830 Australians in four categories, including the General Oath Orders and War Medals. Mr Kaldas, who migrated to Australia with his family in 1969, held a number of prominent positions, including Deputy Commissioner of New South Wales Police, and Chairman of the Royal Commission on Defence and Veteran Suicide. Mr Kaldas has been included on King Charles III Birthday Honours List in recognition of his multi-faceted services including in international and cross-border law enforcement, multiculturalism, and veterans. In addition to the prominent positions that he has held in Australia, Mr Kaldas held the positions of head of the United Nations Anti-Corruption Agency and Head of the Global terrorism Investigation Team. Among his charges in the terrorism investigation team was investigation into the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, and investigating the killing of 51 people in the New Zealand mosque shootings. Mr Kaldas was also head of the UN-mandated task force investigating chemical weapons in Syria from 2016 to 2018. He also took part in the restructuring of the Iraqi Ministry of Police after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. In recognition of his work, Mr Kaldas received several medals and decorations from numerous heads of State. The Coptic Orthodox Church in Sydney issued a statement extending its best wishes to Mr Kaldas. The statement which was posted in English on the Coptic Orthodox Diocese in Sydney's Facebook page read: 'The Coptic Orthodox Diocese of Sydney and Affiliated Regions extends its heartfelt Congratulations to Mr Nick Kaldas AO!

'I got to where I am ... by working hard': story of law

Like many others working in Iraq following the toppling of Saddam Hussein, Nick Kaldas' mental health deteriorated, an experience he considers pivotal to his role as chair of a royal commission. Moving to Australia from Egypt in 1969 as a boy with his family, he has held a number of prominent roles including deputy commissioner in the NSW Police Force and chair of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide. From migrant kid in Sydney's suburbs, Naguib "Nick" Kaldas has been made an Officer (AO) of the Order of Australia as part of the King's Birthday Honours List, for his service to international and transnational law enforcement, multiculturalism, and veterans among other areas. "I feel I have contributed to inspiring kids from migrant backgrounds to think about entering government, to enter the police force, to realise that there is no glass ceiling," he told AAP. "I'm nothing special, and I got to where I am simply by working hard. "See that you can achieve simply by having faith, being resilient, and not letting the speed humps that we all encounter sometimes stop you from moving forward." With his Arabic background and extensive law enforcement experience, Mr Kaldas was made deputy chief police adviser in Iraq, under the Coalition Provisional Authority in 2004. It was in this role helping build Iraqi law enforcement following the dismantling of the regime that led to him developing "really bad PTSD". Mr Kaldas said those experiences were "pivotal" in his understanding of the complex circumstances Australia's military serving men and women dealt with. "It certainly helped me in terms of being empathetic and people knowing that I understand some of what they've been through," he said. "I hope it gave them more comfort to be able to open up, particularly in the private sessions, and to talk to me about what they've been through and what they're feeling." Members of the judiciary and legal professionals have also been honoured for their service to the law. Former and current judges include High Court Justice Simon Harry Steward and Mark Samuel Weinberg who have both been appointed Companions (AC) of the Order of Australia and Peter Meldrum Biscoe KC who was appointed a Member (AM) of the Order of Australia. Others appointed AM include Kathrine Scott Galloway for significant service to the law, Helen Claire Dalley Fisher for service to women in gender equity, and John Patrick Pace for work in international human rights and policy education. Judith Dikstein and John Vincent Mackey were awarded Medals (OAM) of the Order of Australia for their service to the law and community.

The horse listener: a life spent teaching kids to ride

Veteran horseman John Kinghorn learnt everything he knows by sitting on the tailgates of trucks listening to old blokes chat. From his grandfather, who once rode a horse 1000km from central-western NSW to Brisbane, he knew to never ride through a river in the afternoon. "If your gear gets wet, you don't get it dry (before) nightfall," Mr Kinghorn told AAP. "Wait until the morning, then you've got all day to dry it out." It was also old blokes who taught him to approach an unfamiliar horse with his hands in his pockets to avoid spooking it, and how to braid the perfect stock rope. His father, a drover from Cudal, a village west of Orange, taught him that a stubborn animal can be handled through observing and listening. "An animal can't talk to you, but it can tell you things," Mr Kinghorn said. "I often say to young riders: 'What's this horse telling you? Nothing? Then you're not listening'." After six decades volunteering in country NSW pony clubs, the 86-year-old reluctantly admits he might just be one of those old blokes passing on pearls of wisdom. Mr Kinghorn was on Sunday announced as the recipient of a Medal (OAM) of the Order of Australia in the King's Birthday Honours List, for services to youth through equestrian sports. He competed in showjumping and polocrosse as a young man before working at pony clubs in Orange, Carcoar, Cudal and Sydney, teaching three generations of riders. Children learn responsibility and empathy from caring for horses, Mr Kinghorn said. "If you've got a pushbike and you've finished with it, you put it in the garage and forget about it. "If you've got a horse you can't do that, you've got to look after him. "Most of the young riders I've taught have gone on to be pretty decent people." It is warmth that helps young people learn rather than strict instruction, though some have been initially intimidated by his dry humour. "I always say to them: 'I do have a heart - I know a bloke who has seen it'," Mr Kinghorn said, a joke he came up with after a life-saving surgery about a decade ago. Many regional Australians were recognised in the King's Birthday Honours List for their contributions across science, emergency services, culture, sport, education and the arts. Victorian broadcaster Jim Remedio, a Torres Strait Islander man from Bendigo, was posthumously appointed an Officer (AO) of the Order of Australia for distinguished service to First Nations media and to the Indigenous community. Former headmaster Christopher Tudor, from Alice Springs, was appointed an AO for distinguished service to education and to people with a disability and their carers. Angela Fredericks, from Biloela in Queensland, was awarded an OAM for her work in refugee advocacy, having co-founded the #HometoBilo campaign to stop the deportation of the local Nadesalingam family.
