Philip Game

Air Vice-Marshal Sir Philip Woolcott Game (March 30, 1876February 4, 1961) was a British Royal Air Force commander and Governor of New South Wales, Australia.

He was appointed Governor of New South Wales in 1930, serving until 1935. Along with the State Premier Jack Lang and others, Game was a participant at the official opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge on March 19, 1932, where he made a speech.

Less than two months later, on May 13, he dismissed Lang's government for refusing to abandon an apparently illegal policy and issuing a leaflet in defiance of Game. This was the only case of an Australian government with the confidence of the lower house being dismissed by a Vice-Regal representative, until Governor-General Sir John Kerr dismissed Gough Whitlam's government on November 11, 1975.

After his term ended, Game returned to Britain. He served as Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis from 1935 until 1945, and died in 1961.
