@weezmgk @danilic excellent. The remaking of COAG as National Cabinet has been pissing me off for years now. We used to know the agenda, minutes were recorded and we learned of the decisions. Now nothing. Zip. Everything is secret.

This is not how representative democracy is meant to work and it is how corruption flourishes.

Enough of the secrecy .

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

The National Cabinet was formed to develop a rapid response to COVID among federal, state and territory governments. But can it be adapted to function into the future?

I wonder what #NationalCabinet will put forward to fix the #healthcare system? It's very concerning to watch GP's who have long supported #bulkBilling, abandon is entirely with fees coming in, enough to make old Tony Abbott's $5 co-payment look generous

My hopes are in Labor standing strong on #Medicare, with their power there Federally and through a majority of the states, they can show if "it's time" #auspol #albo

What's at play and what's at stake as states and territories push for Medicare funding overhaul?

Amid warnings that bulk-billing could become a thing of the past, states and territories are set to meet the federal government for healthcare reform talks.
