The management of Cabinet documents during an election campaign falls under another set of conventions surrounding the working of Cabinet. The convention is that Cabinet documents and decisions are confidential to the government that created the documents and are not made available to successive governments. All jurisdictions cite this convention and adhere to the same process. Each department is responsible for retrieving and securing their Cabinet documents ready for return to the Cabinet Secretariat in the event of a change of government. The Cabinet Secretary is custodian of Cabinet records for the government and previous governments and, if required, will take over the management of Cabinet documents and issue detailed instructions for their return and lock down.
