Its a Cabinet decision. Understand Cabinet structure and working? I dunno, but unlikely that all participants in a Westminster style Cabinet ever all agree with any particular decision, but its the agreed structure. Andrews had influence this time, but it was via the agency of the Prime Minister. Who knows, maybe the NSW Premier influenced previous decisions. Give and take. As I said, messy, but thats the democracy we have.
The National Cabinet is not a cabinet. It's a figure of speech.
The workings (if you can call it that) of National Cabinet are nothing like the Federal and State Cabinets.
This is a group of equals (the PM is not superior to any state Premier, only the territory Chief Ministers) and no decision is binding on any jurisdiction.
