Subject: OIA25-090 Official Information request - chris penk's medal- OIA Act

Dear Chris Penk,

I have seen Chris on several occasions on television, wearing multiple medals on his chest. Could you please confirm the names of the medals he has been awarded?

Additionally, could you advise who covers the cost of mounting these medals? Has government incurred any expenses related to the maintenance or display of his medals, including miniature versions?

Yours faithfully,

john luke
