This commitment appeared to be reflected in two initiatives they introduced in power: the 2020 Summit (on this see ) and federal community cabinets. More broadly it could be argued that Labor were following a trend identified internationally as a move from government to governance, more specifically to 'network governance' (Rhodes 1997) in which governments encouraged greater participation in policy-making, recognising that governments could at best steer, not row. Indeed, as Marinetto contends (: 593), this idea has taken on a 'semblance of orthodoxy' in discussions of public policy. | |
