Cevap
The Governor-General signs Bills that have been passed by both houses of Parliament to give Royal Assent.
The Governor-General is the King's representative in Australia. Under the Australian Constitution, the Governor-General performs the vital role of giving 'Royal Assent' to legislation. This means that after a Bill has successfully passed through both the House of Representatives and the Senate, it must be signed by the Governor-General to officially become an Australian law.
