 | | William Humble Ward, 2nd Earl of Dudley (25 May 1867 - 29 June 1932), fourth Governor-General of Australia, was born in London and was educated at Eton. |
 | | Dudley arrived in Sydney in September 1908, and soon established a reputation for pomp, ceremony and extravagance which was unwelcome to many Australians, particularly the Labor Party and the radical press such as The Bulletin. |
 | | Dudley's insistence on maintaining two very expensive Government Houses, in Sydney and Melbourne, on travelling around the country in vice-regal pomp, and on chartering a steam-yacht to circumnavigate the continent, infuriated Fisher, a frugal Scottish socialist. |
