No, governors did not represent the colonies in Parliament. Each colony had its own governor, appointed by the British crown or elected by the colonists, but these governors had no direct representation in the British Parliament. Instead, colonial interests were largely communicated through petitions and other forms of advocacy, but the colonies were not given a formal voice in the legislative body that governed them. This lack of representation contributed to growing tensions that ultimately led to the American Revolution.

Explain how Australia's six colonies were ruled before 1900?

They each had a Constitution, a Legislative Assembly elected by adult male citizens, and a Legislative Council upper house, of which the members were elected in some colonies, appointed by the colony's governor in others. The governor of each colony was appointed by the British government (nominally by the Queen/King) and authorised laws passed by their parliament on advice from a Council comprising selected ministers of the government. The voters/citizens might have thought they were not 'ruled' but governed. In representative democracy the members of parliament represent their constituents, they don't rule them.

Colonial representation in parliament?

During colonial times, the colonies had no representation in Parliament. They had no members in either the House of Lords or the House of Commons. Their only presence in England before the Revolution was Benjamin Franklin who was there, not as a member of Parliament, but as a representative of only Pennsylvania to promote Pennsylvania's economic interests. Later on, some but not all colonies hired him to represent their interests in England as well. But in doing so he was looked upon as a representative of all colonies.
