The Governor-General is one of the three essential parts of the Federal Parliament (along with the Senate and the House of Representatives). Their primary constitutional duty in the law-making process is to provide Royal Assent, which is the final signature required for a bill to become an official law. In performing this and other duties, the Governor-General remains neutral and acts on the advice of Australian Government ministers.
