  Ross Dependency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The office of Governor of the Ross Dependency is vested in the Governor-General of New Zealand.
The Ross Dependency is mentioned in the lyrics to Enya's Orinoco Flow, where it is used in a double pun/allusion with the name of one of the singer's producers.
The Dependency originally bore the name King Edward VII Land - a name still used for the area around Cape Colbeck to the west of the ice shelf - and the New Zealand Post Office overprinted some 23,492 postage stamps with that name for use by the 1908 British Antarctic Expedition.

 Governor-General of New Zealand - Speeches
However, Governor Grey declined to implement the new constitution, in part “on the grounds that it would give to a minority made up of one race, power over a majority made up of another.”[7] He did not believe the colonists could be trusted with such generous powers over Maori.
Governor Grey was in fact “the chief author” of the new constitution.
His reluctance was based on his view that the Governor should ensure the independence of the Legislative Council as a brake upon the lower house, and that the solution for the lower house, if it was consistently thwarted by the upper house, was to ask for a dissolution.

The statute declared that if the girl did not have counsel it was then "duty of the court to assign counsel for her." Thus, in the hearing that would take place in open court before a six-member jury, the counsel presumably represented the girl's interest, not her parents or guardians.
Moreover, the jury had to find a girl that the girl was "dependent" and that "the other material facts set forth in the petition are true" before a judge could commit her to an industrial school.
Mulkey quoted the definition of dependency from the act in its entirety and then declared, "It would be difficult to conceive of a class of persons that more imperatively demands the interposition of the State in their behalf." He added:

The central role of the peasants in national development was espoused by Hou Yuon in his 1955 thesis, "The Cambodian Peasants and Their Prospects for Modernization," which challenged the conventional view that urbanization and industrialization are necessary precursors of development.
The major argument in Khieu Samphan's 1959 thesis, "Cambodia's Economy and Industrial Development," was that the country had to become self-reliant and had to end its economic dependency on the developed world.
In its general contours, Khieu's work reflected the influence of a branch of the "dependency theory" school, which blamed lack of development in the Third World on the economic domination of the industrialized nations.
