The Cabinet is an Australian television program, which premiered on 18 August 2014 on Sky News Australia. The program sees two former Labor Party politicians Kristina Keneally^[1] and Craig Emerson discuss political issues of the week with two former Liberal Party politicians Peter Reith and Helen Coonan.^[2]

The program is notable for not having an anchor or moderator, as the four commentators control the debate themselves and take turns throwing to commercial breaks throughout the program.^[3]

The program airs sporadically as a fill-in program on Sky News, and doesn't have a permanent weekly timeslot. Peter Beattie filled in for Keneally on an episode which aired on 2 April 2015.^[4]
