The title Administrator of the Government (Administrator) has several uses in Australia. ==Administrator of the Commonwealth== Section 4 of the Australian Constitution provides that: :''The provisions of Constitution relating to the Governor-General extend and apply to the Governor-General for the time being, or such person as the Queen may appoint to administer the Government of the Commonwealth; but no such person shall be entitled to receive any salary from the Commonwealth in respect of any other office during his administration of the Government of the Commonwealth.''〔(Chapter 1, Part 1 – The Parliament – General ), Australian Constitution.〕 Accordingly, an Administrator is appointed when the Governor-General dies, resigns or is absent from Australia. The Administrator is styled either Administrator of the Commonwealth or, less commonly, Administrator of the Government of the Commonwealth. By convention, the Administrator is usually the longest serving state Governor, who holds a dormant commission from the sovereign (currently Elizabeth II). On 11 May 2003, the letters patent commissioning the Governor-General were amended to enable Peter Hollingworth to stand aside as Governor-General following a controversy about his past handling of child abuse allegations,〔McKeown, Deidre: (Frequently Asked Questions About the Office of Governor-General ), Parliament of Australia, 18 August 2003.〕 and Tasmanian Governor Guy Green was appointed Administrator〔Epstein, Rafael: (Sir Guy faces first day as Administrator ), ''AM'' ABC Radio National, 15 May 2003.〕 until Hollingworth's permanent replacement (Major-Gen Michael Jeffery) took office on 8 August 2003.〔(Sir Guy Green returns to Hobart ), Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 7 August 2003.〕 The present longest serving State Governor is Paul de Jersey who has been Governor of Queensland since 29 July 2014 and holds the dormant commission to act as the Administrator of the Commonwealth when the Governor-General is absent from Australia. The second-longest serving State Governor is Hieu Van Le who has been Governor of South Australia since 1 September 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Administrator (Australia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
