Samantha Mostyn Appointed Australia's Next Governor General

Mostyn's diverse background in business, advocacy, and public service positions her as a unique and influential figure in the role.

Sam Mostyn, with a career spanning executive roles and advocacy for gender equality, is announced as Australia's 28th governor general.
Mostyn's appointment is celebrated for her strategic approach and commitment to inclusion, social justice, and elevating underrepresented voices.
