Summary
Updated 2026-06-13

Sir Michael Hardie Boys was the 17th governor-general of New Zealand from 1996 to 2001. A lawyer and jurist by profession, Hardie Boys was put forward as governor-general by Prime Minister Jim Bolger, in part for his understanding of constitutional law. This was an important factor, as in 1996 the country was about to hold its first election under mixed-member proportional representation (MMP).
