 Head of government article - Head of government cabinet parliamentary system premier prime minister presidential - ...
The head of government is the leader of the government or cabinet.
In presidential systems, the head of government may be the same person as the head of state which is usually titled president in a republic.

 Cabinet Secrecy - Why?
It is now accepted, for example, that cabinet ministers will all support cabinet decisions when they are presented to the Caucus (in the case of the ALP) or the party-room (in the case of the coalition).
One of the major principles of Cabinet government is that the deliberations of the ministry are secret.
Interestingly, cabinet secrecy evolved from the days when British monarchs were starting to become dependant on the support of their apppointed ministers in the parliament.

The head of the Cabinet Policy Unit is the Secretary to Cabinet and the chief note-taker in the Cabinet room.
Cabinet decisions are not normally taken to a vote; rather they are determined by the weight of opinion in the room as perceived by the Secretary to Cabinet (a member of the Prime Minister's personal staff) and the Prime Minister if necessary.
Most Cabinet ministers have one or two junior ministers or parliamentary secretaries who assist them in their portfolio and who are joint administrators of the government department with the senior/Cabinet minister.

 Center of Government
The operational responsibilities of government require a legitimate system of delegation from the legislature to government and then within the government from cabinet or the president to ministries and from ministries to departments and agencies.
Typically, in countries such as the United States, cabinet is a fairly weak body and most decision making is done either bilaterally between the President and his secretaries or in trilateral arrangements between the president, concerned secretary and senior congressional figures.
While committees of cabinet have become increasingly significant in cabinet governments, cabinet offices do not generally mirror the committees of the cabinet.
