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.
The Governor-General's role is to represent the Queen (Elizabeth II) in New Zealand, which means opening parliament, signing legislation into law, dissolving parliament, signing regulations, etc. Some historians describe the Governor-General as New Zealand's "de facto Head of State".
