But despite the Albanese government welcoming Ms Mostyn with open arms, not everyone is pleased with the appointment, including former Queensland Labor secretary and GXO Strategies Director Cameron Milner. "She is the queen of woke... this is the Prime Minister's captain's pick," he told host Andrew Bolt.
In social media posts which have been deleted, Ms Mostyn publicly opposed Australia Day, which the 58-year-old referred to as “Invasion Day”. "I mean, why not a distinguished scientist or neurosurgeon, why not a leader of one of our great farming organisations? A great community servant?" he told Sky News Australia host Sharri Markson.
Mr Kroger argued that while Ms Mostyn is a"fine person and will do a good job, it does send a terrible message".The Governor-General is the King's representative in Australia and is appointed by the sovereign based on recommendations from the Prime Minister.
