New Governor General
Hurray for women everywhere. Australia has appointed a woman to the most useless position in the country. Now girls can aspire to be a figure head, a nullity rather than somebody who actually has any power.
Also, Kevin has gone for the easy option in appointing an incumbent governor. Rather than think hard about some new blood in the vice-regal veins. he has appointed someone already there, leaving it to Queensland to find some body new. At least Howard experimented, disastrously as it happened, with Hollingsworth (and Gough with Kerr). A safe option for KR. I don't think Quentin will rock many boats.
