    Accountability and Reforms to Australia's Federal Financial Relations
    in Australian Journal of Public Administration , volume 72 n.3 ,  2013 ,  376-81
    Australia recently introduced new accountability arrangements for all governments as part of a package of reforms to federal financial relations. This paper explains the new arrangements, beginning with an outline of the broader context — the Intergovernmental Agreement on Federal Financial Relations — in which they were introduced. The paper also identifies some of the lessons already learned from implementing the new arrangements. Some more details on the arrangements and the role of the COAG Reform Council may be found in O'Loughlin 2010.
