In June 2019, several other Australia media personalities and celebrities made the special Queen’s Birthday Honours list alongside David.
Peter Cosgrove, the Governor-General of Australia, says that the Queen’s Birthday Honours list recognises those who ‘constantly put others ahead of [themselves], served tirelessly and made a difference’.
Other celebrities recognised for their achievements in 2019 included musicians Guy Sebastian and David Campbell, actors Hugh Jackman and Eric Bana, and journalist and brain cancer charity founder, Carrie Bickmore.
