NSW keen to extend Governor Bashir's term

PREMIER Barry O'Farrell has asked NSW Governor Marie Bashir to extend her commission for six months.

Professor Bashir is due to stand down in February next year but will now retire on September 26, 2014.

Mr O'Farrell says the Queen supports the move.

"Her Majesty has welcomed my suggestion to extend the Commission of Her Excellency the Governor," he said in a statement on Friday.

"I will now formally submit that request to The Queen for approval."

He said Professor Bashir was one of the state's most loved governors and he regretted her decision to stand down.

"As a person of Lebanese descent, there is no better example of the success of our multicultural society than Professor Bashir, who had a very successful career in health and academia before being appointed Governor," he said.

She was appointed the 37th Governor of NSW on March 1, 2001.
