The Governor-General is appointed by the Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister of the day. The current Governor-General was appointed on the advice of Helen Clark, in 2006. Governors-General serve for a term of around 5 years, so the current Governor-General will leave office in 2011 and John Key will advise the Queen to appoint a new one.

Why does New Zealand have a governor general?

New Zealand became a colony of Britain in 1840 following the Treaty of Waitangi, with a Governor appointed by the Colonial Office of the British Government. In 1907, New Zealand became a Dominion in the British Empire, and the office of Governor was renamed Governor-General.
