Note that from 1877 to 3 July 1952, Governors of Fiji were also High Commissioners for the Western Pacific.
During this period, the Head of State was the British Monarch, but in practice his or her functions were normally exercised locally by the Governor prior to independence (on 10 October 1970), and by the Governor-General prior to the proclamation of a republic on 7 October 1987.
Fiji was a British Crown Colony from 1874 to 1970, and an independent dominion in the British Commonwealth from 1970 to 1987.

 Governor-General of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Governors-General generally become patrons of various charitable institutions, present honours and awards, host functions for various groups of people including ambassadors to and from other countries, and travel widely throughout Australia - replicating the actions of the monarch in the United Kingdom, or those of a ceremonial president such as the Republic of Ireland's.
Between 1931 and 1965 the issue of Australians as Governor-General was a party political one: although the Curtin government appointed the Duke of Gloucester in 1945, Labor governments generally appointed Australians, and conservative governments appointed British Governors-General.
It is generally accepted that the monarch would agree to dismiss the Governor-General on the written advice of the Australian Prime Minister, and replace them with the Prime Minister's nominee.

 Commonwealth Realm
In Fiji, the change to a republic in 1987 came as a result of a military coup, rather than out of any republican sentiment, as Fiji's indigenous chiefs had voluntarily ceded their country to the Crown.
Even when Fiji was not a member of the Commonwealth, symbols of the monarchy remained, including the Queen's portrait on banknotes and coins, and, unlike in the United Kingdom, the Queen's Official Birthday is a public holiday.

Arthur Phillip, a captain in the Navy, was selected to be the first Governor of New South Wales, the limits of which were stated by his commission to extend from Cape York to the southern extremity of the country, and westward as far as the 135th degree of longitude.
Inasmuch as a Governor had no force to back up his administration except such as was commanded by these officers, and as they commonly worked against him, it was very difficult for him to maintain respect for his office, much less rightful authority and obedience.

Goldwater, of course, got stomped in the general, but the activists he recruited rebuilt the Republican party into a powerhouse organization able to advocate for business as effectively as Todd wants Democrats to push for labor.
If you nominate a pro-death penalty, budget-balancing governor of a state that's moving in the right direction, moderate your image on welfare and crime, you'll have solved most of your problems.
One place to start is California, where SB840, a bill that'd institute single-payer health care in the state, has passed the Senate, attracted the support of the state Democratic party and could, if we got a progressive, visionary governor, become law.

The polls say that Arnold is fading fast; he hasn't garnered the Hispanic vote who are the biggest segment of California voters who attend his movies.
