Cevap

The bill must receive Royal Assent from the Governor-General.
The correct answer is that the bill must receive Royal Assent from the Governor-General. In the Australian system, once a bill has successfully passed both the House of Representatives and the Senate, it is sent to the Governor-General. The Governor-General, acting as the representative of the King, signs the bill to give it 'Royal Assent,' at which point it becomes an official law (called an Act of Parliament).
