Spencer Howson has commended the choice to appoint Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young as Queensland’s 27th Governor.

While the decision has been slated as Dr Young is increasingly perceived as a political figure, Spencer says she’s a sensible choice for the role.

“I disagree, I disagree,” he said. “Simple as that.”

“When her name was mentioned as being the next Governor, I thought ‘well, yeah’.”
