Cevap
The proposal must be debated and passed by the Senate
In the Australian federal parliamentary system, a bill (a proposal for a new law) must be debated and passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Only after both houses have agreed to the bill can it be sent to the Governor-General to receive Royal Assent and officially become an Act of Parliament.
