Previous members of the New South Wales Parliament played a substantial role within the new Federal Parliament. 27 out of 32 New South Wales represntatives were former Colonial government members and of this four of them went on to become Australian Prime Minister.
By the time of the State the role of the Governor of New South Wales was generally regarded as a ceremonial role with some constitutional functions, though not active in executive government. Governor Game's decision to dismiss Premier Lang and call an election in 1932 was an exceptional use of the reserve powers the head of state has.
