Samantha Joy Mostyn AO will become Australia's next
Governor-General in July, taking over from David Hurley.
She will be Australia's 28th
Governor-General and the 2nd woman to serve in the post.

Quentin Bryce was the first in 2008.

Will her appointment make any difference to other women
hoping to aim for higher positions in their fields?
Will this encourage younger women to pursue a career in
politics? Would politics be better with more diversity
in top jobs?

The position of Governor General has no bearing on “other women hoping to aim for a higher position”. The appointment is a gift of the Prime Minister. Nobody, male or female, can aspire to the position.

As with the appointment of the last female GG, Quentin Bryce, there will be no effect simply because there is no connection between the Vice-Regal position and the rat race of general employment.

Good luck to Ms. Mostyn, dedicated Leftist, who will probably fill the position in the non-political way others in the position before her have.

It is not a “career in politics”.

There was a rumour late last year that Albo would choose Linda Burney as next GG as a Voice-loss consolation prize.

Given Linda's unfortunate health problems, preventing her from making off the cuff speeches, thank Christ Albo chose well in the end.

Christ had nothing to do with the choice. The carry on in Australia could not be further from the teachings and advice of Christ. Of course, his name is being taken in vain, here. Eye-watering ignorance.

Sorry ttbn

Didn't realise you were religious.
