What is Community Cabinet?
The purpose of Community Cabinet is for us to hear from you. It's very easy for governments in Canberra to become detached from what's going on out on the ground. I don't intend to allow that to happen to this government and one of the antidotes is to make sure that we are up and out there on a regular basis engaging local communities.
That's why we've instituted Community Cabinet, as a way of keeping us as a government linked to what you in the community have to say. We want to remain engaged with the wider Australian community, and the ideas and the views that you put to us help continue to shape our views about what the Australian Government should be about now and in the future.
