Oz PM moves to hide secret discussions with drug companies and politicians

 State premiers and health experts don’t want the public to hear what they say about Covid behind closed doors.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has introduced a Bill to protect the secret discussions of state premiers within National Cabinet.

Minister for Education and Youth Alan Tudge, brought the COAG Legislation Amendment Bill 2021 on Morrison’s behalf last Thursday.

The Bill’s purpose is to extend the secrecy protections of Federal Cabinet to cover the contents of National Cabinet.

This comes after the embarrassing ruling from the Federal Court when Justice White determined that National Cabinet was not a real Cabinet and must open itself to Freedom of Information requests under the Freedom of Information Act 1978.
