With the COVID crisis easing, is the National Cabinet still fit for purpose?

The establishment of the National Cabinet in March 2020, which brought together the prime minister, state premiers and territory chief ministers to coordinate the national response to the COVID pandemic, played into this strength.

Key Points: 
  • The establishment of the National Cabinet in March 2020, which brought together the prime minister, state premiers and territory chief ministers to coordinate the national response to the COVID pandemic, played into this strength.
  • Compared to other intergovernmental forums, the National Cabinet was designed to be nimble, decisive and not weighed down by bureaucracy.
  • However, three years on, and with the pressing nature of the pandemic easing, it’s time to rethink the National Cabinet.

1. An informal approach is no longer sustainable

    • While the current model for National Cabinet worked well at the height of the pandemic, the same approach is not ideal today.
    • Since the abolition of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) in 2020, National Cabinet has served as the primary forum for Australia’s leaders to meet and consider important issues facing the country.

2. The veil of secrecy must be lifted

    • Federal Court Justice Richard White held that simply naming the institution a “cabinet” did not automatically grant it confidentiality.

      But even after that decision, both the Morrison and Albanese governments have refused Freedom of Information requests for National Cabinet documents.

    • Adding in a policy of blanket secrecy about National Cabinet further constrains our ability to hold governments accountable and undermines public trust.

3. National Cabinet must have a true federal-state balance

    • If the National Cabinet is to succeed into the future, its participants must be committed to the aims of federalism.
    • Any reform of National Cabinet should ensure it is a truly federal body.
    • These issues remain a challenge to fostering greater equality in the National Cabinet and optimising our federation to the greatest advantage.

Where to from here?

    • But the transition from COAG to the National Cabinet was so swift, there was no opportunity to develop a truly workable, sustainable model.
    • The National Cabinet has an opportunity to learn from the deficits of COAG and create a lasting model of federal cooperation and achievement.
