Cevap
The Senate must debate and pass the bill, acting as a 'house of review' to scrutinize the proposed law.
The Senate's primary role in the legislative process is to act as a 'house of review.' For a bill to become law in Australia, it must be debated and passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate before being sent to the Governor-General for Royal Assent.
