Cevap
The Federal Parliament of Australia consists of the King (represented by the Governor-General), the Senate, and the House of Representatives.
The correct answer is the King (represented by the Governor-General), the Senate, and the House of Representatives because the Australian Constitution establishes a 'tricameral' system in a symbolic sense, where law-making requires the participation of the monarch's representative alongside the two elected houses.
