Australia's Governor-General Peter Cosgrove has announced the termination of Harris' appointments of Officer and Member of the Order of Australia.

In July, Rolf Harris was sentenced in London to almost six years in prison after being found guilty on 12 charges of indecent assault on four victims aged between 8 and 19 between 1969 and 1986.

Earlier this month there were reports Harris had been questioned by British police over further allegations of sexual offences.
