The 1926 Imperial Conference devised the ' Balfour formula ' of Dominion status , stating that : The Balfour Report further resolved that each respective governor-general occupied " the same position in relation to the administration of public affairs in the Dominion " as was held by the monarch in the United Kingdom . Consequently , the only advisers to the governor-general ( and the monarch in New Zealand ) were his New Zealand ministers
