Chief Whip

The Chief Whip is responsible for the day to day business of their party within the Senate and overseeing votes to ensure it falls the way that the Cabinet desires. Although not a Cabinet level office on its own, at the discretion of the PM and Cabinet the holder is often or permanently invited to attend Cabinet. The current Government Chief Whip is unknown.

Role
The Chief Whip is responsible for ‘whipping’ backbench members of the legislature to ensure they vote the way that the Cabinet desires to pass important legislation. They are often seen as the PMs representative within the Senate and backbench and carry the weight of the PM with them to enforce the decisions of Cabinet.

To give the holder rights to the Cabinet, the Chief Whip is often offered a Cabinet level office to hold concurrently.
