Noosa District State High School teacher Brigid Muir attended Government House last Tuesday for her father, David Muir’s investiture ceremony.
Mr Muir was awarded the Order of Australia for significant service to the community through welfare, social justice, and charitable work.
Mr Muir was recognised for his involvement in founding roles and leadership positions, including Chairman and President, with organisations including Foodbank Australia, Amnesty International Australia, Amnesty International Queensland, Crime Stoppers Queensland, The Clem Jones Group, Real Republic Australia and the Brisbane Metropolitan Lions Club.
Mr Muir’s daughter Brigid travelled from the Sunshine Coast to attend the special ceremony at Government House.
Governor Paul de Jersey presented The Order of Australia medallion to Mr Muir and personally congratulated him.
Miss Muir was very proud of her father and pleased to see his community contributions recognised.
“The world would be a better place if there were more people like my father,” Miss Muir said.
Mr Muir was humbled and grateful for the acknowledgment and he hopes this will provide further opportunity to highlight the important work he does, especially through important charitable organisations like Foodbank.
Mr Muir invited the Governor to tour the Foodbank warehouse at Morningside, which he graciously accepted.
