Australia’s Governor-General, Sam Mostyn, answers questions from Aussie kids in a special Squiz Kids Q+A.

On the first anniversary of her appointment as Governor-General, Australia’s official representative of the King and the person who helps keep our democracy ticking, GG Sam (as she’s known to us) has kindly agreed to hop into the Q+A hot seat.

From questions about what a Governor-General actually does, to how she feels about homework, and even what the King is really like in person, Squiz Kids from around the country have come through with the goods.

It’s a fascinating, fun, and thoughtful conversation, full of insights into Australia’s system of government, the importance of kids understanding civics, and why your voice matters, even if you can’t vote yet.
