The win Senator Rex Patrick had in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal has defined the “National Cabinet”  as not “Cabinet” – meaning it is outside the rules of confidentiality afforded to Cabinet meetings.

The Government could also appeal to the High Court, but currently the grounds look tenuous.
