The
Governor (of New South Wales) is the Queen's representative in
New South Wales. Prior to the introduction of "responsible government" in 1856, the Governor was responsible for the day-to-day running of the then colony, in later years advised by a "legislative council". After that, the Governor became mainly a ceremonial figure, responsible for appointing the Premier.
