‘A republican’: Controversy over Albanese’s pick for new Governor-General

Liberal Senator Hollie Hughes says there is a lot of controversy over Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s choice for the new Governor-General. Former Labor staffer Sam Mostyn was announced last week as David Hurley’s replacement. “A republican, that is the part that galls me,” she told Sky News host Caleb Bond. “This is the hypocrisy of the left, they’ll condemn the monarchy, they don’t like our form of government, they’ll talk up Peter FitzSimons and what he did for the Republican Movement. “Cushy job, nice house, I’m in – you know, forget what my value compass is, forget what I believe in, what I support for our nation.”
