| | Reform in the Australian Public Service 1983-1996 |
| | Between 1983 and the 1996 federal election, the Accord was renewed on a two-year basis, representing, in the words of one public service union official, "a very powerful alliance between the ACTU and the Federal Government" (1993 interviews). | | | Moreover, senators are traditionally represented in the Cabinet, and the Leader and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate, in particular, generally hold positions of considerable authority in the government. | | | The Constitution, as one authority put it, "is remarkably brief when it comes to the structure of the executive government." 5 Of particular note is section 67 of the Constitution, which empowers the Governor General in Council to appoint and remove officers of the Executive Government of the Commonwealth, subject to Parliament providing otherwise. |
