Radio Lollipop Brisbane was honoured to receive a visit from the Governor of Queensland, His Excellency The Honourable Paul de Jersey AC.

The Radio Lollipop team and children at the Lady Cilento Hospital were delighted to welcome him into the studio.

We put the Governor of Queensland in the studio interview chair so the children could listen in and ask him questions, here’s what we found out:

Favourite part about being the Governor of Queensland:

The Governor is often travelling across the State meeting with various community groups, mayors and business delegates, and really enjoys meeting everyday people. His favourite part of the role is getting to learn about different people, community groups and organisations.

Which exciting places have you been able to visit and who have you met?

The Governor has met Her Majesty The Queen, and also met President Obama during the G20 summit in Brisbane. He enjoys meeting and talking with the Queenslanders that he takes great pride in representing.

There’s a new Avengers movie out at the moment, who would you say is your favourite superhero?

The Governor’s a fan of Iron Man but his favourite avenger was the Incredible Hulk, as the Governor used to read about him and see him in movies when he was growing up.

And if you could have any super power, what would it be?

Being able to fly or being invisible would be great, but he believes that the ability to make people smile and be happy is a real super power (just like our Lollipop Playmakers do every shift!).

Song request for the night: ‘Let it Go’ from the movie Frozen – the kids gave this a big thumbs up!
