 Fantastic choice as our new GG 

Sir Peter Cosgrove has been sworn in as Australia's 26th Governor-General, declaring it "the greatest honour" of his family's "fortunate lives".

The former Defence chief is the first man to be knighted under Prime Minister Tony Abbott's revived honours system.

He used his swearing-in address in the Senate today to pay tribute to Indigenous Australians, his predecessor Dame Quentin Bryce, and Cameron Corporal Baird - the special forces commando who was posthumously awarded a Victoria Cross in February this year.

"We hail and salute Cameron Baird," he said. "He lives in the injured hearts of those he left too soon."

His Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove, as he is now known, wore his string of military medals when he arrived at Parliament House in a motorcade.

I note that he took his wife inside this time.

I admire the man for one thing he apparently said....."....but all war is a mistake, all war,"

When you have served your country and then still be available for public service into your autumn years,  this honourable man is deserving of all title and gratitude and respect.

The slur about leaving his wife outside? He knows more about protocol  than any on here.

It's not a slur.  It did happen.  And the big brave soldier did nothing.

Because of your inability to provide proof of whatever the accusation is that you are attempting to make and now even more so because you wont answer the question, you just keep on repeating the same baseless slur without a scrap of proof to back it up.

So again.... PROOF and what are you talking about?
