Composition[edit]

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[edit]

    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.[7] 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.[8]

    Meetings[edit]

    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)[8] chairs its meetings[9] and establishes its agenda.[10] All members are expected to be present at all meetings unless excused by the Premier.[9]

    Notes[edit]

    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]
