Mostyn, a businesswoman and lawyer, was the first female AFL commissioner and was previously the president of Chief Executive Women.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has named Samantha Mostyn, the lawyer helming his Women’s Economic Equality Taskforce, as Australia’s next Governor-General.
“Sam Mostyn is an exceptional leader who represents the best of modern Australia,” Albanese said when he announced the appointment at a press conference in Canberra on Wednesday morning. “The beauty of Australians is our ability to pull together often despite our differences. I’ve had engaging discussions with farmers about the challenges of climate change, listened deeply to young people, talking enthusiastically about civics and democracy and intergenerational fairness. I spent time listening carefully to single mothers and domestic violence survivors, and I have had coffees and stories in Men’s Sheds.”Hurley welcomed the announcement.
