Cabinet of Queensland

The Cabinet of Queensland is the chief policy-making group of people within the Government of Queensland in Australia.

Composition

The Cabinet has the same membership as the Executive Council: the Premier and ministers (including the Deputy Premier and Attorney-General). Assistant ministers, formerly called parliamentary secretaries,[n 1] are not members.

Role

Unlike the Executive Council, which is a mechanism for advising the Governor, the Cabinet meets without the Governor and is responsible for formulating and coordinating policy. In effect, the Executive Council is a vehicle for implementing decisions made in Cabinet.[6] Individual ministers are collectively responsible for the decisions made by Cabinet, so ministers are expected to resign if unwilling to publicly support a collective decision of Cabinet.[7]

Meetings

Meetings of the Cabinet are usually held on 10:00 a.m. on Mondays in the Executive Building's Cabinet Room. The Premier (or Deputy Premier in her or his absence)[7] chairs its meetings[8] and establishes its agenda.[9] All members are expected to be present at all meetings unless excused by the Premier.[8]

Notes

  1. ^ In establishing his ministry, Campbell Newman renamed them assistant ministers as he believed the term more easily understood.[1] The Constitution of Queensland Act 2001 and other statutes still use the name parliamentary secretaries.[2]
