Within hours of Sir Ron Brierley pleading guilty to possessing child sexual abuse material, the Prime Minister had begun the process of stripping him of his knighthood.
Jacinda Ardern has the power to advise the Queen to remove a knighthood if it is decided the individual s actions have damaged the honour system s reputation.
But she doesn t just give the Queen a quick ring.
Instead, according to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC), the Secretary and Registrar of the Order needs to give the holder of the honour 30 days to respond to the proposed forfeiture with any comments they believe should be taken into account.
If the Prime Minister decides to go ahead, they then write to the Queen with the advice. Once The Queen has approved the proposal, the holder of the honour is notified and asked to return their insignia and warrant of appointment, DPMC says. They may no longer use the post-nominal letters associated with the honour after their name. If the honour has a title associated with it, the person is no longer entitled to use the title (e.g. Dame or Sir ).
