But you still didn't answer one question: Is it her money?
No. And she wouldn't want it. The NZ$ isn't known as the South Pacific peos for nothing, which is exactly what it's worth in worldwide terms.
The most interesting GG we've had in recent times was Dame Cath Tizard. She is the wife of a former cabinet minister and she was also Mayor of Auckland for at least one term. She's apparently a gin drinker and gets quite "chirpy" when she's had a couple. That was fun.
The current GG is Dame Sylvia Cartwright who was Chief District Court Judge for some time and was also the head of a Royal Commission into a medical imbroglio a few years ago. She's very smooth, very earnest, and very, very boring. Unlike Zild's current Prime Minister, Helen Clark, who is very rough, very direct, usually wrong about everything and yet, in spite of this, she is also very, very boring.
Which is less than you could say about Rob Muldoon. He was a lot of things and usually drunk with it, but boring he was not ...
