Modesty forbids His Excellency from posting this blog but his relatives will appreciate that Andrew Roff has been elected/selected as the Youth Governor of South Australia.
Sponsored by the YMCA, each year a group of young prominent people from all socio-economic walks of life are selected to form two political parties and engage in debating bills at Parliament House for a live-in week of politics-in-action.
Andrew was initially elected by his ruling party as the Premier of South Australia and after the week was through, selected by the organisors to be the Governor of SA, the ambassador for the youth parliament for the next year.
Now there are two X men in the family??

Amazing! Andrew, I am so proud of you! I'm sure you have many important responsibilities, but what are the perks? Do you get a special sword? Or a hat?
...a name tag that says "Governator"?
Congrats!
Clearly, given what I've heard about where you live, Andrew, a house inspection wasn't part of the selection process. Good on you, though. It's a reward for all the hard work. I can't wait to tell all my friends at the ACTU...
Well done, Andrew, but as a sworn Republican I now have to kill you. Nothing personal.
Tood
Man, this is too good to be true. I am already thinking of possibilities for graft and corruption. Go Andrew!
Now that you are in politics I hold you responsible for the financial crisis, and Sarah Palin's wardrobe.
Good luck in the presidential elections this week. Wait, have I got all this right?
That's ace Andrew. I can't wait to hear how it goes at Neil's bar.
Because you were selected by the YMCA, Andrew, does this mean you have to perform THAT song at official functions?
To answer some of your questions: nothing cool; nope; yes, a baseball cap that says "Coopers Pale Ale"; no, but sometimes just for fun I like to talk like Arney; no; and unfortunately yes, but at least they let me choose whether I want to be the construction worker or the Indian.
Oh, and Damian, give me a call some time re: graft.
