#1 Ok,one of you Aussie's help me out here.
Is it customary for Goveners in Australia to be appointed?
Here in the U.S. we elect our state goveners.

#4 So, the premier of Tasmania appointed him? Or the Governor General of Australia? The premier of Tasmania is a guy named Bacon, whose wife is called Honey. Mmm...honey bacon.

#5 I just recently learned that a distant relative of mine is or was in politics in Australia. I was personally wondering how often governor positions are changed? I love to learn about family and think it would be fun to tell my friends if he is still in politics on the other side of the world!
