The NLA reference is not about him, it's about the pool. As far as I can see, a passing mention by the Ipswich Advertiser is hardly enough to qualify for the |general notability guideline. As for the BEM: if all the http://www.itsanhonour.gov.au/honours/honour_roll/search.cfm?breif=true&page=1&search_type=advanced 3,446 people who received the civil medal and http://www.itsanhonour.gov.au/honours/honour_roll/search.cfm?breif=true&page=1&search_type=advanced 1,106 people who received the military medal in Australia are notable I'd be very surprised. These kinds of awards are sometimes given to active people in ''local'' communities who, while making excellent contributions to their communities, are not at all notable for our purposes. Gardiner, it would seem, is one of those
