Cabinet of Queensland


The Cabinet of Queensland is the chief policy-making organ of the Government of Queensland.

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, are not members.

===Current members===

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. Individual ministers are collectively responsible for the decisions made by Cabinet, so if a minister is unwilling to publicly support a collective decision of Cabinet, he or she is expected to resign.

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