This is Quentin Bryce. Apart from having a very cool name, she is the Governor General of Australia and today she opened Sydney's new Google offices as I and the rest of the Sydney media looked on.It strikes me in a country often seen as bit behind the times/racist/sexist, she is a wonderful example of true girl power. She is Australia's first ever female GG. Her Excellency's role is to represent the Monarch (that's our very own Queen of England) in this country and she exercises the "supreme executive power of the Commonwealth". She very much reminded me of Queen Elizabeth, with her fabulous matching skirt suit and shoes (emerald, or perhaps Google green?) and was truly the epitome of ladylike.
The Google offices themselves were of course, amazing and I am now suffering from severe workplace envy.
I met the woman in Canberra on Sunday morning. It was a dour outdoor function, freezing, and she made an effort to meet everyone involved.
ReplyDeleteTo paraphrase you, she's a good chick.
