"Successive governments have accepted that, during the period preceding an election for the House of Representatives, the government assumes a "caretaker role". This practice recognises that, with the dissolution of the House, the Executive cannot be held accountable for its decisions in the normal manner, and that every general election carries the possibility of a change of government. The caretaker period begins at the time the House of Representatives is dissolved and continues until the election result is clear, or if there is a change of government, until the new government is appointed. During the caretaker period, the business of government continues and ordinary matters of administration still need to be addressed. However, successive governments have followed a series of practices, known as the "caretaker conventions", which aim to ensure that their actions do not bind an incoming government and limit its freedom of action."--p. 1.

In the second revised edition of this monograph, Jennifer Menzies and Anne Tiernan capably chart the often hazardous terrain of the ‘caretaker period’ that ensues from the time an election is called until a new government is formed. This is a landscape fraught with political and administrative dangers – particularly for public servants who are required to ‘mind the shop’ and keep the basically machinery of government going. The conventions represent an historical accretion of custom, practice and rules, often leavened with uncertainty. In tackling their subject, Menzies and Tiernan draw upon their shared past experiences as public servants and ministerial ‘staffers’ as well as the highest standards of academic scholarship – this is a ‘must read’ for politicians, public servants and students of government. The second edition expands on the first edition by documenting recent controversies and trends which have had an impact on caretaker conventions. The analysis of the contemporary application of caretaker conventions has been updated and new case studies included – particularly from the last federal election. Also included is additional material about lengthy government formation after election day and the management of caretaker conventions during that time. The New Zealand material has been revised and updated.

It is recognised that every general election carries the possibility of a change of government. In the caretaker period, efforts are made to ensure that decisions are not taken that would bind an incoming government and/or limit its freedom of action. The practices associated with the caretaker role are directed at protecting the apolitical nature of the public sector, and avoiding the use of State Government resources in a manner to advantage a particular party. The arrangements also aim to prevent controversies about the role of the public sector during an election campaign. Attached is a copy of the Guidelines that will apply to the forthcoming election period.
