In 2006, building on discussions that took place in 2005, COAG reached significant agreements on the NRA. In February it agreed to, among other issues: endorse the NRA; an overall framework of multilateral and jurisdictional-specific policy proposals; the creation of a COAG Reform Council (CRC); and to a fair sharing of costs and benefits (COAG 2006a). In July 2006, among other agreements there was: a re-affirmation of a 10 year NRA framework and a fair sharing of costs and benefits; agreement to 11, indicative high-level human capital outcomes; that the COAG Reform Council would assess costs and benefits; agreement to an initial focus on three human capital areas, as a first step, by the next COAG meeting; and agreement that the next COAG, to be held in early 2007, would consider specific reform proposals being developed by the Human Capital Working Group and Competition and Regulation Working Group (and their subgroups) with representatives from all jurisdictions (COAG 2006b).
