ISBN 0 - 475 - 50067 - 9 THE ROLE OF THE GOVERNOR- GENERAL DAME SILVIA CARTWRIGHT* Professor Palmer, thank you for your welcome and for your invitation to talk today about the role of the Governor-General. As many of you know, my predecessor Sir Michael Hardie Boys gave a number of significant speeches on the role of the Governor-General in the MMP context, particularly in relation to government formation.1 So, rather than return to this focus, I propose to take a different approach to the subject. Today I will traverse some of the historical developments relating to the office of Governor-General, for it is an office in which there have been many significant changes since 1840. Reflecting on these changes will help inform our view of the role of the Governor-General at the beginning of the 21st century. Such reflection must take account of the patchwork of cultures that now constitutes New Zealand society – and the need for the role of Governor-General to be relevant to all New Zealanders. -

1 the Right Honourable Sir Anand Satyanand* I. Introduction
“WORK IN PROGRESS IN A COUNTRY THAT WORKS”1 The Right Honourable Sir Anand Satyanand* I. Introduction The fundamental thing …is that the Governor-General has the responsibility to ensure the continuity and legitimacy of government … and to do that effectively it is crucial that he or she be, and be seen to be, publicly neutral and impartial. Rt Hon Sir Michael Hardie Boys Neil Williamson Lecture 2003 2 A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, steer a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization, is for insects. Robert Heinlein A quotation from The Notebooks of Lazarus Long3 These two quotations provide, I think, two ideas. One is the centrality to government of the role of the Governor-General and the other is a sense of the range of things that are transacted through the Office of Governor- General, or that come to the attention of a working Governor-General in the course of each week, certainly each month and, undoubtedly, each year. To these things there is to be added the value of continuing to ask questions. The matter of asking questions is something which the present writer has continued to maintain in the Governor-General role, as much as in previous occupations. Over 20 years it has become a practice for New Zealand Governors- General to write -

Governors' Wives in New Zealand, 1887–1926
Ladies of Empire: Governors’ Wives in New Zealand, 1887–1926 by Sarah Burgess A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Victoria University of Wellington 2015 i Abstract Across the years 1887 to 1926, at a time when the British Empire was at its height, nine governors and their wives took up vice-regal office in New Zealand. This study is concerned with the public enactment of the position of vice-regal wives’ in New Zealand in these years. It explores what it meant for a woman to be a public figure with a prominent profile and at the same time a wife within a marriage during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In doing so, the thesis looks at three distinct aspects of vice-regal life, as played out in public: official vice-regal ceremony and social life; involvement in voluntary welfare and women’s imperialist organisations; and the display of vice-regal life through governors’ wives’ appearance and the furnishing of Government House. Of key concern is the way in which these aspects of vice-regal life are conveyed to the public through newspapers, and so Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity is considered as a way to think about the position occupied by governors’ wives. As women married to men in public office, governors’ wives occupied a particular position and space within the British Empire in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The position was defined and created through marriage and through the enactment of the duties of vice-regal office. -
The Evolution of the Office of Governor-General'ofnew Zealand
Mountbatten Journal ofLegal Studies The Evolution ofthe Office of Governor-General 'of New Zealand Noel Cox Introduction This paper will concentrate upon one aspect of the Crown, and examine the process which turned the once imperial institution of Governor-General into a national office, representing a national Crown. In this will be shown one of the ways in which the Crown has acquired a national identity. The purpose ofthis paper is to test the hypothesis that the Crown was a principal agency through which New Zealand independence was acquired or at least symbolised. The attributes of independence were largely seen in those political processes (such as the signing of treaties, and declarations of war) reserved to independent countries. The uncertainty of the process is shown by the inability of commentators to assign a date of independence to New Zealand (or Canada and Australia). This gradual process of conferring independence is illustrated in the office ofGovernor-General. The paper will also explore how the Crown has been used to symbolically reflect this independence. This paper is in three sections. The first looks at the evolution of the office of Governor-General. Once the tool of imperial government, the Governor-General became one of the principal means through which national independence is symbolised. The process again is one primarily of the political executive, with legal changes having generally followed practical or political changes. I The second section looks at the choice of people to fill the office of Governor-General, how this has reflected changing social and political 1 As is shown by the slowness with which the Letters Patent of 1917 constituting the office ofGovemor-General were updated, 51 Mountbatten Journal ofLegal Studies cultures, and how it may have also served in some respects to direct the further evolution ofthe office. -
