Everything about Colonial Secretary New Zealand totally explained

The Colonial Secretary of New Zealand was an office established in 1840 and abolished in 1907. The position shouldn't be confused with the Colonial Secretary of the former Colonial Office of the United Kingdom. Along with the Chief Justice, the office was one of the first four created by Governor William Hobson when he arrived in New Zealand in January 1840. The Colonial Secretary's Office handled the creation of New Zealand's public service, and became the modern Department of Internal Affairs in 1907
