Sky News host Andrew Bolt has criticised the appointment of former Labor advisor Samantha Mostyn as Australia’s next Governor-General. Ms Mostyn will be sworn into the role on July 1, taking over from David Hurley who has been serving as the country's Governor-General since 2019.
Mr Bolt hit out at the gender equality advocate for jumping on almost “every hobby horse of the new left”. “A second-tier functionary of the new left, chosen by a socialist left Prime Minister to – and this is the joke – be the governor-general. A unifying, supposedly, and apolitical, supposedly, figure representing us all,” Mr Bolt said. “Someone to act as our neutral umpire, totally impartial, in a constitutional crisis.
“Standards have fallen, haven't they?”
