The office of Governor is the oldest constitutional office in Australia. Each of the six states was founded as a British colony, and a Governor was appointed by the British government to exercise executive authority over the colony, to represent the monarch who was permanently based in London and to perform the same constitutional and representational functions at state level, which the Governor General perform at the federal level. Current position of state governor in the Australian political system is the result of the transformation of the office, taking place from the eighteenth century, when the governors led newly emerging British colonies, as well as political and social changes in Australia and in the British Empire. The article presents the history of that office, requirements for officials and a range of their privileges and powers. The evolution of this position will be undoubtedly associated with the result of discussion on a key constitutional change, which is currently pending between the two environments: Australians for a Constitutional Monarchy and Australian Republican Movement

Tuvalu is a country located in the western part of the Pacific Ocean, which comprises three reef islands and six atolls spread on 26km2. Tuvalu became fully independent within the Commonwealth in 1978 but it still keeps trying to determine its constitutional and social situation. Life’s challenges are so substantial for 10,500 inhabitants of Tuvalu, the land which is situated only 4.5 m above sea level. Due to climate changes and pollution, the effects of rising sea and hurricanes destroy everyday life and basic local facilities – seawater penetrates into the mainland damaging fragile coastlines, garden production and buildings. Local economy is poor as well – it is based on migration from the external islands to the center and from the center beyond the state’s borders, remittances from citizens who work abroad, international aid and bureaucracy – the public sector creates the most job posts and, as the only employer, pays regular salary. The main revenue comes from selling the right to the Internet domain ‘.tv’ and stamps’ and coins’ issue. What is more, fish stocks on Tuvalu’s islands starts to disappear so islanders are turning to the outside world to survive. It is possible that one day, they will have to abandon their backgrounds and look for new lives somewhere overseas. Climatic disasters make Tuvalu trying to mark its presence on the international political forums. Is their voice heard on international arena? What will be the future for Tuvalu as a political entity? In a short time, Tuvalu may run out of its territorial and human factors – mandatory features for keeping state’s organization. Tuvaluans struggle with nature, law, economy, reality, desires and mental state – will they succeed?
