昆廷·布賴斯

**昆廷・艾麗斯・路易絲・布萊斯**女爵士，AD，CVO（英語：Dame Quentin Alice Louise Bryce，1942 年 12 月 23 日 —），澳洲政治人物、律師，為第 25 任澳洲總督。

## 生平

布萊斯出生於布里斯本，其父親是農業工廠經理。布萊斯大學入讀昆士蘭大學，文學及法學雙學士畢業。後來雪梨大學於 2010 年頒贈榮譽法學博士學位。

布萊斯獲得訟務律師資格後任職法學講師，1978 年起歷任全國女性顧問理事會理事、昆士蘭女性信息服務社長、人權和均等機會委員會昆士蘭會長、聯邦性別歧視專員等，因在女性工作方面的貢獻獲得一系列勛位和嘉獎，包括皇家維多利亞勳章。

2003 年就任昆士蘭州總督。原本五年任期於 2008 年被宣布獲延長 1 年，但因同年 4 月 13 日，聯邦總理陸克文宣布布萊斯於同年 9 月接替任期屆滿的麥可・傑佛瑞出任澳洲總督，故改回如期卸任州督，並升任澳洲第一位女性總督。

2013 年，因她的女兒嫁予時任澳洲工黨領導人比爾・蕭藤，她主動請辭以避嫌，但被時任總理大臣東尼・阿博特輓留。2014 年卸任，卸任前 3 日獲封女爵士。

### 榮譽

## 爭議

在 2013 年發表的一篇演講中，布萊斯提到希望將來有朝一日，澳洲的孩童長大後會成為自己國家的元首。此話惹來猛烈批評，批評者認為他作為君主代表，不應發表帶政治立場的言論，更不應公開支持廢除君主制 。
