The Cabinet of Tasmania is the senior decision-making and executive body within the Tasmanian Government. The Cabinet is a body within the Executive Council of Tasmania; a council to advise the governor of Tasmania on the matters of government. Decisions made by the Cabinet do not have legal effect on their own, and must be approved by the governor in a meeting of the executive council, of which all cabinet ministers are members and the governor presides, however, due to the convention of responsible government, the governor generally rubber stamp's all decisions of Cabinet with little debate. The premier of Tasmania appoints members of Cabinet from both houses of the Parliament of Tasmania, with the governor then swearing them in. The premier presides over Cabinet, with the entirety of a premier's ministry having the ability to contribute in debate, with decisions then made collectively. Members of Cabinet are bound by the convention of Cabinet collective responsibility, forbidding cabinet ministers to speak negatively about decisions made by Cabinet in quorum, even if the minister disagrees with the policy.
