Lieutenant Governor of South Australia
The Lieutenant Governor of South Australia is the representative of the monarch in the state. This role involves performing ceremonial duties, such as opening Parliament and attending official events. The Lieutenant Governor is appointed by the Governor-General of Australia and acts on behalf of the Governor when necessary.
The position is largely ceremonial, but the Lieutenant Governor also has constitutional responsibilities, including the power to summon and dissolve Parliament. The current Lieutenant Governor is Hieu Van Le, who has held the position since 2013. The office plays a vital role in maintaining the state's connection to the British monarchy.
