Ordinary Meeting – Tuesday 25 August 2020 Page 1 MM20.10 Mayoral Minute - Local Government Exclusion from National Cabinet HPERM Ref: D20/366856 Recommendation That Council: 1. Agrees to send a letter to the Premier and to Fiona Phillips MP as the Federal Member for Gilmore and the State members for South Coast, The Hon Shelley Hancock MP and Member for Kiama, the Hon Gareth Ward MP respectively which highlights the critical necessity for Local Government representation on the newly formed National Cabinet and seeks their assistance in requesting that First Ministers review the decision to exclude Local Government. 2. Seeks a meeting with our local Federal and State Members to discuss in more detail the importance of having local government representation on National Cabinet and the value of partnerships with Councils in achieving the objectives of the National Cabinet and the national reform agenda. 3. Notes that the Australian Local Government Association, Local Government NSW and other state/territory local government associations will continue to advocate for local government representation on the National Cabinet and for Local Government’s interests in all relevant forums. MM20.10 Details On 13 March 2020, as the Coronavirus pandemic took hold around the world, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) met in Sydney to discuss a range of issues of national importance. At that meeting First Ministers (the Prime Minister, Premiers and Chief Ministers) agreed to establish a National Cabinet to meet at least weekly to address the country’s response to the coronavirus. The focus was primarily on the health and wellbeing of Australians and managing the health response. Over time National Cabinet has broadened its agenda to include a focus on managing coronavirus impacts across Australia. There was no Local Government representation on National Cabinet when it was established on the basis that its focus was on health. On 29 May 2020, First Ministers, through the Prime Minister, announced the continuation of National Cabinet, which they considered to be a much more effective body than COAG for taking decisions in the national interest. Local Government was not given a seat at the National Cabinet table. However, ALGA as the national representative body of Local Government, was given a seat on the National Federation Reform Council (NFRC). The NFRC will meet once a year to focus on priority national federation issues such as Closing the Gap and Women’s Safety. In addition to ALGA, the NFRC is comprised of the National Cabinet and the Council of Federal Financial Relations – Federal and State/Territory Treasurers. The President of ALGA had been a member of COAG since it was convened by Prime Minister Keating in 1992. Local Government was included because all parties recognised that Australia has three levels of government and that the Government with most impact on people’s daily lives in terms of the provision of local services and infrastructure is Local Government. Decisions about how our Federation works and how it can be improved or reformed require all three levels of government working together to align their policies and programs. Ordinary Meeting – Tuesday 25 August 2020 Page 2 Australians expect the decisions of government affecting them to reflect their grassroots views and to be implemented at the local level as well as the state and national level. This was the case with the development and implementation of the National Competition Policy in the 1990s which included reform at the local government level as well as the National and State levels in areas such as water supply and infrastructure provision through procurement. National Cabinet, and the Commonwealth Government in particular, are looking towards pro- growth policies to lift investment and get Australians
