Esteeming the Governor-General of Australia

The Governor-General serves the Australian civic system as a neutral and independent umpire whose work of quiet excellence seeks no controversy. Consequently the work is often overlooked by the mainstream media. So South Australia's newspaper The Advertiser in 2003 ran a front page news feature reporting a finding that only 2% of people could name Australia's Governor-General. But as the media often omits to publish Vice-Regal news, it is responsible for the non-recognition of leaders such as Major General Michael Jeffery (who in 2003 became Australia's 24th Governor-General).
