Today, in a formal ceremony at Parliament House, Samantha Mostyn has officially begun her role as Australia's 28th governor-general. The accomplished businesswoman and former AFL commissioner was announced as David Hurley's successor back in April. In her address, Mostyn expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to serve her country and her belief in its bright future.
She shared that in her interactions with people from all walks of life, she has been struck by their love for Australia and their desire for a better tomorrow. It is this sense of unity and optimism that she hopes to foster during her time as governor-general.
Mostyn also acknowledged the role of her predecessors, whom she has had the privilege of meeting. She noted that they too shared the same hopes and dreams for Australia as its citizens. She emphasized that the role of governor-general is not just to observe, but to actively participate in shaping the country's future.
Reflecting on the Australian character and its democratic values, Mostyn expressed her determination to uphold these principles in her role. She is only the second woman to hold this esteemed position, following in the footsteps of Quentin Bryce who served from 2008 to 2014.
As she embarks on this new journey, Mostyn's message is clear - she is committed to working towards a brighter future for Australia, guided by the voices and aspirations of its people. There is much to look forward to under her leadership as governor-general.
