  Executive Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Until the advent of responsible government, Executive Councils existed primarily to advise the governor of the colony, dominion or realm.
Executive Councils still have the power to make far-reaching administrative and legal decisions affecting their jurisdictions known as Orders-in-Council.
These Councils have almost the same functions as the Privy Council in the United Kingdom, and accordingly, decisions of the Cabinet gain legal effect by being formally adopted by the Executive Council.

Section 61 of the Australian Constitution states that "the executive power of the Commonwealth is vested in the Queen and is exercisable by the Governor-General as the Queen's representative, and extends to the execution and maintenance of this Constitution, and of the laws of the Commonwealth."
