'Governor General' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:

Chittagong (2012)

Actors

Plot
Set in the turbulence of the 1930s British India, a 14 year old boy, Jhunku, and his journey to find where he belongs. For the first time in Indian history, the British army is defeated by a ragtag army of schoolboys and their teacher, Masterda. Called a traitor by his peers, and let down by a man he trusts, Jhunku impulsively joins the movement. As his world is turned upside down, Jhunku is forced to confront his self-doubts. As the leaders of the movement are progressively caught or killed, Jhunku battles against seemingly insurmountable odds to win a victory of his own. The film is an exciting action-drama, made more so by the fact that it is true.

Governor-General of India

The Governor-General of India (or, from 1858 to 1947, the Viceroy and Governor-General of India (commonly shortened to Viceroy of India)) was originally the head of the British administration in India and, later, after Pakistani and Indian independence in 1947, the representative of the Indian monarch and head of state. The office was created in 1773, with the title of Governor-General of the Presidency of Fort William. The officer had direct control only over Fort William, but supervised other British East India Company officials in India. Complete authority over all of British India was granted in 1833, and the official became known as the Governor-General of India. In 1858, the territories of the East India Company came under the direct control of the British government; see British Raj. The governor-general (now also the viceroy) headed the central government of India, which administered the provinces of British India, including the Punjab, Bengal, Bombay, Madras, the United Provinces, and others. However, much of India was not ruled directly by the British government; outside the provinces of British India, there were hundreds of nominally sovereign princely states or "native states", whose relationship was not with the British government, but directly with the monarch. To reflect the governor-general's role as the representative of the monarch to the feudal rulers of the princely states, from 1858 the term Viceroy and Governor-General of India (known in short as the Viceroy of India) was applied to him.

The "Alexandra" was built in 1905 by Rhodes Curry at Amherst, Nova Scotia for Governor General Lord Earl Grey. It later became the traveling home of Prime Ministers Laurier, Borden, Meighan and King. The car has been described as the most elegant car ever built in the Amherst plant. It had an interior of selected St. Jago mahogany, and a wooden exterior with "GOVERNOR GENERAL'S CAR" on the letterboard. The "Alexandra", which had been owned by the Town of Amherst, and was destined for either disposal or the scrapper's torch, was purchased by the Nova Scotia Railway Heritage Society in September 2006 and relocated to the Train Station Inn, Tatamogouche, on 20 December 2006, thanks to an agreement reached by the society and inn owner James LeFresne. The car joins LeFresne's collection of veteran rolling stock that he has converted into a world-renowned hotel.

Recording from VHS low quality. Not My Department was a Canadian television sitcom, which aired on CBC Television in 1987. It was based on Charles Gordon's comedic novel The Governor General's Bunny Hop. The show focused on a fictional Department of Regional Incentive Targets, a ministry whose sole job was to inherit files that other government ministries did not want to deal with. The series starred Harry Ditson as Gerald Angstrum; Shelley Peterson as Margaret Simmons; Robbie O'Neill as Robert; Alpha Boucher appeared as Henri; and also included Barry Stevens, Pierre Chagnon, Chris Wiggins, Robert Benson, Bonnie Brooks, James Edmond and Suzanne Coy. The series was cancelled due to poor ratings and was not well received by critics.

Australian Governor General visits refugee camp, meets King Abdullah

Order: Reorder

Updated: 31 Jul 2015

Australia's Governor-General Quentin Bryce visited a refugee camp in Jordan on Sunday and spoke to women and children who fled the civil war in neighbouring Syria. She also met with King Abdullah and Queen Rania in the Jordanian capital Amman. "I feel very privileged to have the opportunity to sit down and talk to women with their little children playing around, to get true picture for myself of what it's like for them, and that's what I'll take home to Australia and share in our community," she said to reporters at the Zaatari refugee camp. The desert camp of Zaatari - Jordan's first tent city - now hosts 25-thousand refugees. Aid workers at the camp say the rapid influx is making it difficult to fully provide even basic services to new arrivals. Many of the refugees have said they find camp life a harsh struggle against constant dust storms, snakes and scorpions on the parched, treeless stretch of land. According to Andrew Harper, a representative of the UNHCR in Jordan, around 300 Syrian refugees crossed into Jordan on Saturday. He said the numbers are slightly lower than recent weeks "because of activities on the other side which is restricting movements coming across but also, I think, the full moon which makes it difficult for people to cross because people are much visible so they much prefer to come across during the cover of darkness." At the Zaatari camp on Sunday, a man named Abu Mohammad - a rebel fighter with the Free Syrian Army (FSA) - said he had fled to Jordan when he ran out of ammunition. "People are being killed (by Syrian government forces). I swear, people are being killed without committing any guilt, they did nothing," he said. Jordan and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on Saturday issued an urgent call to international donors for 700 (m) million (US) dollars to help handle the rapidly rising number of Syrian refugees seeking safe haven in the country. Some five-thousand Syrians crossed into Jordan in a 24-hour period earlier this week, adding to the more than 180-thousand living in the kingdom to escape their homeland's civil war. Jordan is the largest host of Syrians in the region.

Wide of Rudd and Bryce posing with new cabinet family photo, zoom out STORYLINE New Australian cabinet was sworn-in by the country's governor general Quentin Bryce in Sydney on Monday. Kevin Rudd returned as Australia's prime minister on Thursday, reviving his Labour party's hopes of avoiding an election massacre but giving voters few clues where he plans to take the country. Rudd was sworn in a day after taking the job back from Julia Gillard, his former deputy, who took over through her own internal coup three years ago but had a strained relationship with Australian voters from the start. Some of Rudd's supporters were rewarded in the new ministry while some members of Gillard's team have had their positions changed, local media reported. Rudd said the make-up of the cabinet was chosen on merit. Deputy Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was sworn-in as communications and digital economy minister, while former Gillard supporter Bill Shorten, who threw his support being Rudd just hours before last Wednesday's ballot, was given the education minister portfolio. Gillard was dumped by colleagues spooked by the party's dismal opinion polling. Rudd had warned that Labor was facing its worst election defeat under Gillard's leadership in the 111-year history of the Australian federation. Gillard lacked Rudd's charisma, and although many Labor lawmakers preferred her style, her deepening unpopularity among voters compelled a majority to seek a change ahead of looming elections. Labor has depended on independents and a minor party for its fragile ruling coalition, but Rudd appeared capable of retaining it after two independent lawmakers who did not back Gillard's government said they would support his.

Canada's Governor General David Johnston met Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in Beijing on Friday at the beginning of a nine-day visit to China to attract greater investment in Canada. Johnston, who is accompanied on the trip by his wife, met with Li at China's Great Hall of the People. The visit comes as concern grows in Canada that Chinese investment is drying up, according to a report in The Globe and Mail, a Canadian newspaper. Chinese investment in Canada's oil and gas sector plummeted in the first nine months of 2013 to 1.94 billion US dollars from 26.22 billion US dollars during the same period of 2012, according to an insider quoted by the paper. Mergers and acquisitions dropped to 7.7 billion US dollars from 64 billion US dollars, the paper quoted. Johnston is expected to stress that the nation encourages foreign investment. He is posed to be officially welcomed in China by its President, Xi Jinping, in a ceremony later on Friday, followed by a state dinner. The agenda in the capital includes visits to Canadian educational centres, Chinese universities and a speech to a Chinese business council. Johnston is then expected to visit Shanghai, Nanjing, Chengdu and Guangzhou, with an agenda that will aim to boost educational, cultural and economic ties between the two countries. In Sichuan province's capital, Chengdu, he will be attending the opening of the 14th Western China International Fair.

Myanmar opposition leader receives honorary doctorate; meets Governor General

Order: Reorder
Duration: 2:36
Updated: 31 Jul 2015

Myanmar pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi was on Friday awarded an honorary doctorate by an Australian university. There were standing ovations when the Nobel Peace Prize laureate entered the hall for the ceremony, and when she received the degree. The Australian National University in Canberra said the Doctor of Letters was in recognition of her outstanding contributions to the service of society. In her acceptance speech, Suu Kyi stated the benefits of democracy - both as a form of governance in general and in relation to her own country. Suu Kyi used the name Burma in her address, saying she would continue to do so until the people accepted the new name Myanmar. She stressed the progress her country had made in apparent reference to recent democratic reforms but said much was still to be done. "We need the world to recognise that Burma is just starting out on its journey to democracy. There are too many who believe that we are always, almost at the end of the road. This is not so," she said. "We are just the beginning. But we are confident that we will be able to walk the path that we have chosen for ourselves and that we will be able to reach our goal, which is a happy and united nation." Suu Kyi said Australia was a good example of diversity, combing elements of the East and the West, and said the country should retain it. "You do not have to go all Asian. I understand that this is the trend in Australia today, to try to become Asian-ised as it were. You are special because of your unique combination of the East and the West. Please retain what is special to you," she told the audience. On Thursday, she received two other honorary degrees from universities in Sydney. Suu Kyi is on a five-day visit to Australia, seeking the backing for changes to Myanmar's constitution, which currently prevents her from becoming president. The 68-year-old is now seeking the constitutional changes that would permit her to run. After Friday's ceremony, Suu Kyi had lunch with Governor-General Quentin Bryce at Government House.

Former defence chief Peter Cosgrove will be Australia's next Governor-General, Prime Minister Tony Abbott confirmed at a news conference in Canberra on Tuesday. "I've been truly honoured and very humbled by the invitation from the Prime Minister to take up this office," said Cosgrove at a joint news conference with Abbott. The retired general has vowed to keep out of politics when he takes up the role in a few weeks time. He said it would be his responsibility as Governor-General "to shine light but not to generate heat". "You've got to listen a lot and take in everything that you see, but you're not a participant in the political process," Cosgrove said of his new role. Abbott also shared some words of support for the man he appointed. "I am confident that in this new role he will continue to deliver to a grateful nation leadership beyond politics," he said. Abbott confirmed Cosgrove will replace the current Governor-General Quentin Bryce in March.

4:3 PRESIDENT RAMOS HORTA MEETS NZEALAND'S GOVERNOR GENERAL

Order: Reorder
Duration: 1:37
Updated: 31 Jul 2015

STORYLINE: Sir Jerry Mateparae, New Zealand's Governor General, arrived in East Timor on Saturday for an official two-day visit. He was welcomed by the country's outgoing president, Nobel laureate Jose Ramos-Horta. In subsequent talks with Ramos-Horta in the capital, Dili, Mateparae confirmed his country's commitment to keep providing assistance to East Timor. East Timor was a Portuguese colony for more than four centuries before Indonesian troops invaded in 1975. When it voted for independence in 1999, withdrawing Indonesian soldiers and militia went on a rampage, killing up to 1,500 people and destroying East Timor's limited infrastructure. The United Nations poured billions of dollars into the new nation and deployed thousands of troops but after scaling back - too early, critics say - gang violence and splits in the army and police turned deadly. It led six years ago to the collapse of the government and the return of international peacekeepers. Today, East Timor remains desperately poor and its institutions weak. But a successful presidential election in April - the third since the nation of 1 (m) million was born - is widely seen as a sign of growing political maturity. "After 10 years, Timor-Leste (East Timor) has achieved so much," Mateparae told reporters on Saturday. "The recent and peaceful elections speak of the tremendous progress that has been made in creating peace and stability and building your commitment to democracy and your participating in the international community." Mateparae also said his country would continue to support for East Timor as its "focus moves from security to social and economic development to education and business and trade development." Mateparae is scheduled to attend the inauguration ceremony at midnight of East Timor's new president, former military commander Taur Matan Ruak. Ruak - whose real name is Jose Maria Vasconcelos - is known by his nom de guerre and will have a largely ceremonial role. On Sunday - East Timor's independence day - Mateparae is due to meet the country's prime minister, Xanana Gusmao.

I could not understand where it came from and how it happened, I just could feel a sudden uneasiness in my body." 6. Close of governor's bandaged wounded hand 7. Wide of traffic in Taluqan city STORYLINE The wounded from a Taliban attack in Afghanistan were recovering in Takhar provincial hospital on Sunday. The blast occurred on Saturday when a Taliban suicide bomber wearing a police uniform blew himself up inside a heavily guarded compound in northern Afghanistan as top Afghan and international officials were leaving a meeting. Two senior Afghan police commanders were killed and a German general in command of coalition troops in the region was wounded in the blast. Two German soldiers and two other Afghans were also killed in the blast that came just weeks before a planned drawdown of US troops begins this summer. The governor of Takhar province, Abdul Jabar Taqwa, who was wounded in the attack, said the blast happened following a meeting between high-ranking Afghan officials and members of the international coalition. Among the dead was General Daud Daud, regional police commander in northern Afghanistan. Daud was a former deputy interior minister for counternarcotics and a former bodyguard of Ahmad Shah Massoud, the charismatic Tajik leader who commanded the Northern Alliance and died in an al-Qaida suicide bombing two days before the September 11, 2001, attacks that provoked the US invasion. Also killed were provincial police chief General Shah Jahan Noori, a secretary to the governor and one of Daud's bodyguards, the health director said. General Markus Kneip, the NATO force's commander for nine northern provinces, was among the wounded, the German Defence Ministry confirmed.
