14 Jun 2006 : MICHAEL GUDINSKI AWARDED ORDER OF AUSTRALIA
The Mushroom Group of Companies would like to share the news with all and sundry that our fearless leader, Michael Gudinski, has earned the privilege of adding AM to the end of his name.
No, no - not for being an earlier riser (anyone who knows Michael Gudinski will agree that he's more of a PM kind of guy)!
This years' Queen's Birthday list saw Michael awarded the Member of the Order of Australia medal.
In the Australian honours system appointments to the Order of Australia confer recognition for outstanding achievement and service.
The Member of the Order of Australia is awarded for service in a particular locality or field of activity or to a particular group.
Michael was awarded for service to the entertainment industry through the promotion of Australian music recording artists, as an advocate for young people in the music industry, and to the community.
Michael is thrilled with the award and in true Michael Gudinski fashion celebrated the event backstage at a Split Enz reunion concert (with a very nice bottle of red wine).
