Guy Green (judge)
The Hon. Sir Guy Stephen Montague Green AC, KBE, CVO (born July 26, 1937) was the Governor of Tasmania from 1995 to 2003. He was the first Tasmanian-born governor of the state, although not the first Australian-born.
Guy Green was born in Launceston. He was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Tasmania from 1973 until 2003, the culmination of a distinguished career in law in Tasmania, which saw him serve as a magistrate from 1971 to 1973.[His Excellency The Hon Sir Guy Green, South of No North (Australian Broadcasting Corporation.]
He was also heavily involved in the University of Tasmania, serving as Chancellor before his appointment as Governor. Sir Guy was also Chancellor of the Australian Priory of the Order of St John of Jerusalem before assuming Vice-Regal office.
On 11 May 2003, the Governor-General Peter Hollingworth stood aside following a controversy about his past handling of child abuse allegations. Green, the longest serving state governor, was appointed Administrator of the Commonwealth, or in effect acting Governor-General.[Darby, Andrew: Sir Guy a man of 'grace and style', The Age, May 12, 2003.] Hollingworth later announced that he would not be returning to the position. Green served as Administrator until Michael Jeffery took office in August 2003.[Sir Guy Green returns to Hobart, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, August 7, 2003.] He retired afterwards and was replaced as Tasmanian Governor by Richard Butler.
He was knighted as a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1982,[It's an Honour - Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire] appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) in 1994[It's an Honour - Companion of the Order of Australia] and appointed a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order[It's an Honour - Commander of the Royal Victorian Order] during Queen Elizabeth II's visit to Tasmania in 2000. He was awarded the Centenary Medal in 2001.[It's an Honour - Centenary Medal]
On retiring from the governorship, Sir Guy continued to contribute to Tasmania, as Chairman of Trustees of the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, and chairman of the board of the 10 Days on the Island festival.[About the Board, Menzies Research Institute.]
