Strengthening Democratic Accountability


Victorian Labor Premier, John Brumby has announced a series of new initiatives to strengthen democratic accountability.

The measures are:
  • Prioritising the drafting of new legislation to reform the FOI Act;
  • Releasing an annual Statement of Legislative Intent from 2008 – outlining the year’s major legislative program;
  • Providing funding for the live audio web-casting of all sessions of the Legislative Assembly and Council – including question time;
  • Releasing quarterly reports that detail the costs and benefits of all Ministerial overseas travel;
  • Publicising the remuneration band and identity of members of Government boards and advisory committees; and
  • Posting transcripts of Premier’s media conferences on the website – www.premier.vic.gov.au – as soon as they become available.
