Seaman's term as governor was not without controversy. On 24 February 1978, The Advertiser reported that he was about to be dismissed. He wasn't, but was forced to admit that he had committed a 'grave impropriety' prior to his appointment; it had been examined by the Uniting Church discipline committee, and he had been allowed to continue his ministry.
Before being appointed governor, Reverend Keith Seaman had been superintendent of the "Adelaide Central Methodist Mission" (now "Uniting Care Wesley Adelaide"), and in 1973 was a member of the National Commission on Social Welfare, set up by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam.
