Summary

/ / In Australia

From British colonization, the New South Wales , was overseen by a governor and other colonies such as Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land "at the time) or New Zealand ("Bay of Islands" to the time), by a lieutenant-governor.

Today, there is no lieutenant governor at the Federal level, but there are still at the state level, lieutenant governors, administrators ("Administrators") and presidents ("Chief Justices") of the Supreme Court of the State, which normally have different roles, but in many states, including New South Wales, the Victoria and South Australia , the role of lieutenant governor is played by President of the Supreme Court. In 2001, the Constitution of Queensland has been modified to recreate the post of lieutenant governor. When a governor dies, resigns or is absent, a "Director" or "lieutenant governor" must be replaced. It has no role as the governor is active, but he is ready to take his place if necessary.
