Sir George Gipps (23 December 1790 – 28 February 1847) was the Governor of the British colony of New South Wales for eight years, between 1838 and 1846. His governorship oversaw a tumultuous period where the rights to land were bitterly contested in a three way struggle between the colonial government, Aboriginal people and wealthy graziers known as squatters. The management of other major issues such as the end of convict transportation, large immigration programs and the introduction of majority elected representation also featured strongly during his tenure. Gipps is regarded as a man who brought a high moral and intellectual standard to the position of governor, but was ultimately defeated in his aims by the increasing power and avarice of the squatters.

  • Sir George Gipps (* 1791 in in Kent in England; † 28. Februar 1847 in Canterbury) war acht Jahre lang vom 24. Februar 1838 bis zum 12. Juli 1846 Gouverneur der Kolonie New South Wales in Australien. Seine Gouverneurschaft lag in der Anfangszeit von New South Wales und Australien, weshalb auch Neuseeland – damals ein Teil von New South Wales – für eine längere Zeit von ihm mitverwaltet wurde. Die europäischen Siedler jener Zeit waren nicht zufrieden mit seiner Regierung, obwohl das zuständige britische Kolonialbüro Gipps für einen fähigen Administrator hielt. (de)

  • George Gipps (1791 – 28 février 1847) est un homme politique britannique. Il est gouverneur de Nouvelle-Galles du Sud, alors colonie britannique, entre 1838 et 1846. Il occupa son poste pendant une période de grand changement pour la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud ainsi que pour l'Australie et la Nouvelle-Zélande qui fut administrée pendant la plus grande partie de son mandat comme une dépendance de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud. Les colons de l'époque n'approuvèrent pas la façon dont il transmit le pouvoir à un gouvernement local responsable mais ses contemporains du Ministère des Colonies le trouvèrent administrateur très capable.
